The largest use of this band is by Wi-Fi networks; the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards use the 2.4 GHz section of the S band. These are the most widely used computer networks in the world, used globally in home and small office networks to link desktop and laptop computers, tablet computers, smartphones, smart TVs, printers, and smart speakers together and to a wireless router to connect ...
Insect radar. Surveillance radar (mostly X and S band, i.e. primary ATC Radars) Tracking radar (mostly X band, i.e. Fire Control Systems) Wearable radar and miniature radar systems are used as electric seeing aids for the visually impaired, as well as early warning collision detection and situational awareness

Improved AN/APG-4. AN/APG-7 Bombing radar to control glide bombs; AN/APG-8 S band turret gun aiming radar for Boeing B-29B Superfortress
SMART-S Mk2 [2] [5] [4] (Signaal Multibeam Acquisition Radar for Tracking, S band Mk2) is a naval medium to long-range air and surface surveillance multibeam passive electronically scanned array 3D radar designed by Thales Nederland, [6] formerly Hollandse Signaalapparaten (Signaal). While the original SMART-S radar was only produced in small ...
NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the ...
The WSR-74 was introduced as a "gap filler", as well as an updated radar that, among other things, was transistor-based. [3] In the early 1970s, Enterprise Electronics Corporation (EEC), based out of Enterprise, Alabama won the contract to design, manufacture, test, and deliver the entire WSR-74 radar network (both C and S-Band versions).
The S-band and X-band sensors will also share functionality, including radar navigation, periscope detection, and missile guidance and communication. SPY-6 is intended as a scalable system, with each sensor array assembled from Radar Modular Assemblies (RMA), self-contained radar modules.
Serbian Air Force AN/TPS-70 radar. AN/TPS-70 is a mobile rotating S band phased array 3D radar produced by Westinghouse (Northrop Grumman). [1] It can track 500 targets, displaying target range, height, azimuth, identification friend or foe (IFF) information from an altitude of 0 to 100,000 feet (30,000 meters) to a maximum range of 240 nautical miles (440 kilometres).
