Wireless 108Mbps Multi-Function Access Point bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. Question Answer Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air? WLAN features two-fold protection in security.
Wireless 108Mbps Multi-Function Access Point Question Answer What is the IEEE 802.11g standard? Approved in June, 2003 as an IEEE standard for wireless local area networks (WLANs), 802.11g offers wireless transmission over relatively short distances at up to 54 megabits per second (Mbps) compared with the 11 megabits per second of the 802.11b (Wi-Fi) standard. Like 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz range and is thus compatible with it. A02-WAP-54G Pag.
