What frequency band does the Thread protocol use?
Thread is a low-power wireless mesh networking protocol that is designed to connect smart home devices and other smart devices within buildings. The thread protocol is built using open and proven standards and is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard and 6LoWPAN, which uses Internet Protocol version (IPv6), a networking protocol to enable communication between multiple devices in the network.
The frequency band used by the Thread protocol is governed by the the IEEE 802.15.4 standard on which it is based. The protocol operates on one of the three unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. They include:
