Publication number: 20200187082Abstract: Systems and methods for reliably transmitting data over wireless channels. In particular, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for transmitting audio over available DFS and non-DFS channels. The present disclosure can include a master device including a first front end for transmitting data over at least one wireless working channel, a second front end for monitoring at least one wireless prescreened channel, and a radar and energy detector unit for detecting the presence of radar or energy over the at least one wireless working channel and the at least one wireless prescreened channel. The master device can actively monitor a working channel while simultaneously prescreening a channel that can be used to replace the working channel in the event that radar, energy, or low network quality is experienced on the working channel. Both the working channel and the prescreened channel can be actively monitored for radar and energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Kenneth A.
