Background and Errors in
g (Smart Utility Network)
Sub-GHz PHYs for various regions including:
MHz and MHz (China)
863 MHz (Europe)
MHz (Americas)
920 MHz (Japan)
MHz (Korea)
PHY parameters as specified can not be operational per regional requirements

7. Need PHY for Regions No Sub-GHz band suitable on a global basis
January 2016
Need PHY for Regions
No Sub-GHz band suitable on a global basis
Different Sub-GHz frequency bands used in different countries have different rules
New spectrum is available and have been opened up after 15.4g amendment for Smart Utility Networks and Smart Cities, for example:
MHz (European band)
MHz (Malaysia)
