What Is Spread Spectrum What Is Spread Spectrum RF Technology?RF Technology?
• Data sent over the air waves
• Two-way radio communications (half duplex)
• Cisco designs and manufactures its own radios
• Same radio frequency for sending & receiving (transceiver)
• No licensing required for Cisco Aironet Wireless products

IEEE 802.11 StandardIEEE 802.11 StandardIEEE 802.11 StandardIEEE 802.11 Standard
IEEE 802.11 became a standard in July 1997
• Infrared
• RF
Two RF technologies defined:
• Direct sequence spread spectrum - 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps
• Frequency hopping spread spectrum - 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps
IEEE 802.11b became a standard in September 1999
• Only one RF technology defined- DSSS at 5.5 Mbps & 11 Mbps
802.11 defines a high-performance radio
802.11 promises “true” vendor interoperability (over the air)
![Page 18: Wireless Networking WiFi 802.11b/g/a Bluetooth 3G PCS 802.11s Mesh.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103005/56649dc45503460f94ab7035/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
InteroperabilityInteroperabilityInteroperabilityInteroperability
• 802.11 covers RF connectivity, association processes, and modulation schemes
• Does not cover AP-to-AP connectivity over the wired network, roaming, load balancing, or repeaters
• These features are vendor specific and proprietary
• Choose a single vendor for the wireless backbone
