Claim:
1. A system for detecting radar signals and avoiding interference with the radar signals comprising: a cloud Dynamic Frequency Selection (“DFS”) super master; a plurality of radar detectors communicatively coupled to the cloud DFS super master and programmed to scan for a radar signal in each of a plurality of 5 GHz radio channels, to transmit the results of the scan for the radar signal to the cloud DFS super master, and to transmit geo-location information for each of the plurality of radar detectors to the cloud DFS super master; a client device communicatively coupled to the cloud DFS super master and programmed to transmit geo-location information for the client device and a request for available 5 GHz radio channels to the cloud DFS super master; wherein the cloud DFS super master is programmed to receive the results of the scan for the radar signal from each of the plurality of radar detectors, the geo-location information for the plurality of radar detectors, the geo-location information for the client device and the request for available 5 GHz radio channels and is programmed to determine one or more 5 GHz radio channels that are free of radar signals within a distance of the client device from the results of the scan for the radar signal from each of the plurality of radar detectors, the geo-location information for the plurality of radar detectors, and the geo-location information for the client device and to transmit the one or more 5 GHz radio channels that are free of radar signals within the distance of the client device to the client device; and wherein the cloud DFS super master is programmed to receive information from an external data source and is programmed to determine the one or more 5 GHz radio channels that are free of radar signals within the distance of the client device from the information from the external data source and the results of the scan for the radar signal from each of the plurality of radar detectors, the geo-location information for the plurality of radar detectors, and the geo-location information for the client device.
