802.11 channels

UNII - Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure
DFS - Dynamic Frequency Selection
TPC - Transmitter Power Control

5GHz radio devices should follow 802.11h specification - DFS and TPC

UNII2 - (52, 56, 60, 64 ==> 5250MHz - 5350MHz)
UNII2 Ext - (100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140 ==> 5470MHz - 5725MHz)

FCC Rule requires that products operating in the UNII-2 and UNII-2 extended bands must support Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), to detect and automatically adjusts channels to protect WLAN communications from interfering with military or weather radar systems.
