+[ISM] stands for "Industrial, Scientific and Medical". It refers to several radio bands left "unlicensed" due to several issues. 

+ 

+The 2.4GHz [ISM] band is being made available "unlicensed" due to noise radiated from devices, the most common being microwave ovens. It's also becoming useful for technologies such as Wireless LANs, [bluetooth Bluetooth], cordless telephones, baby monitors, security monitoring, and several other applications using [SpreadSpectrum spread spectrum] technology.

+* 39 MHz to 41 MHz 

+* 902 MHz to 928 MHz (Very common with cordless telephones, and older WLAN technology) 

+* 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz (Sometimes called "''The'' [ISM] Band") 

+* 5.725 GHz to 5.83 GHz 

+* 24.05 GHz to 24.25 GHz
