亞GHz無線部署的主要優先事項

　　建立一個先進的無線系統，大多數開發者會選擇兩工業，科學和醫療（ISM）頻段的options-2.4 GHz或子千兆赫的頻率。將一個或另一個與系統的最高優先級配對，將提供無線性能和經濟性的最佳結合。這些優先事項可以包括：范圍、功耗、數據速率、天線尺寸、互操作性（標準）和全球部署。然而，對于低數據速率應用，如家庭安全/自動化和智能計量，亞千兆赫無線系統提供了幾個優點，包括更長的范圍、降低的功耗和較低的部署和運營成本。

　　的sub-GHz無線電

　　亞千兆赫無線電可以提供相對簡單的無線解決方案，可以不間斷地使用電池供電，長達20年。顯著的優勢超過2.4 GHz的無線電包括：

　　Range -- The narrowband operation of a sub-GHz radio enables transmission ranges of a kilometer or more. This allows sub-GHz nodes to communicate directly with a distant hub without hopping from node to node， as is often required using a much shorter-range 2.4 GHz solution. There are three primary reasons for sub-GHz superior range performance over 2.4 GHz applications：

　　As radio waves pass through walls and other obstacles， the signal weakens. Attenuation rates increase at higher frequencies， therefore the 2.4 GHz signal weakens faster than a sub-GHz signal.

　　2.4 GHz radio waves also fade more quickly than sub-GHz waves as they reflect off dense surfaces. In highly congested environments， the 2.4 GHz transmission can weaken rapidly， which adversely affects signal quality.

　　Even though radio waves travel in a straight line， they do bend when they hit a solid edge （like the corner of a building）。 As frequencies decrease， the angle of diffraction increases， allowing sub-GHz signals to bend farther around an obstacle， reducing the blocking effect.
