IEEE802 has particular interest in the 433-435 MHz band, since the IEEE 802.15 WG for Wireless Personal Area Networks (“WPANs”) has developed an Active Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) physical layer amendment to the IEEE 802.15.4 base standard for Low-Rate WPANs called IEEE 802.15.4f which includes operation in the 433 MHz band.
