Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for managing wireless communications in a machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless Wide Area Network (WAN). An operating frequency band of the M2M wireless WAN is divided into at least a first frequency channel and a second frequency channel. The first and second frequency channels being used for communications on a reverse link. First channel status information and second channel status information are broadcasted to one or more M2M devices. The first channel status information indicating a status of the first frequency channel. The second channel status information indicating a status of the second frequency channel.

Abstract: Halogen-free, flame retardant, electrically-conductive adhesive materials are disclosed herein, which may be suitable for use with electromagnetic interference shielding devices. In one embodiment the adhesive material may include an adhesive, electrically-conductive material dispersed throughout the adhesive, and flame retardant dispersed throughout the adhesive. The flame retardant may remain distinct from the electrically-conductive material, such that the flame retardant is also substantially free of coating by the electrically-conductive material.
