  • Abstract
    Medical device manufacturers are integrating wireless communication into medical devices at an increasing rate, specifically in the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. The increased use of the 2.4 GHz ISM band is fostered by the economic benefits of inexpensive wireless chipsets and the capability to communicate with other devices exploiting standard wireless technology.
