If​radio​systems​with​the​same​frequency​are​operated​at​the​same​time​and​in​the​same​place,​interference​can​occur.​In​
order​to​prevent​this,​most​systems​have​several​separate​transmission​channels​(e.g.​WLAN​and​IEEE​802.15.4),​so​that​the​
user​can​operate​the​systems​in​parallel.​The​eleven​WLAN​radio​channels​are​arranged​in​an​overlapping​manner.​Therefore,​
only​channels​1,​6​and​11​can​be​operated​independently​in​parallel​(see​fig.​3).​Corresponding​free​frequency​ranges​are​then​
available​for​the​channels​of​the​KM6551,​so​that​both​can​be​operated​in​parallel.​In​the​following​example​(fig.​4),​CU8890​
WLAN​Controllers​with​eleven​channels​transmit​in​the​same​range​as​KM6551​units​with​16​channels.​The​channels​can​be​
freely​set​in​both​the​CU8890​and​the​KM6551,​allowing​several​systems​to​be​operated​simultaneously.
