ZigBee and WiFi Update
I had previously posted an entry on ZigBee and WiFi with some data on channel usage for WiFi from some of my travels. Having recently completed a trip to Asia I wanted to fill in some scans from this region since it was not previously represented.
I have now completed 10 larger scans in cities. This includes 3 in the US, 2 in Europe, 4 in Asia and 1 in Australia. The data is surprisingly consistent showing WiFi usage heavily targeted to channels 1, 6 and 11. The usage on these 3 channels varies from a low of 72% of the access points to up to 88%.
