Spectrum24 Wireless LAN Adapter Product Reference Guide 1
Chapter 1 Introduction
Spectrum24 is a frequency-hopping, spread spectrum
network that operates between 2.4 and 2.5 GHz.
Spectrum24 operates similarly to Ethernet networks without
a wired network infrastructure. Spread spectrum
communication provides a high-capacity network within
large or small environments. Interference reduction makes
it ideal for mobile communications and real-time data
access applications.
• Spectrum24 bridging architecture allows
communication between wired network devices and
mobile devices.
• Spectrum24 switchable data rates allow 1 Mbps
and 2 Mbps devices to communicate in the same
network environment.
• Spectrum24 supports the IEEE 802.11 specification.
This open architecture allows Spectrum 24
devices to communicate with wireless devices from
other manufacturers.
• Spectrum24 allows mobile devices to roam
throughout large facilities while remaining connected
to the LAN.
• Spectrum24 allows protocol firmware upgrades while
devices remain operational.
• Spectrum24 antenna diversity feature alternates
between antennas with the best reception, increasing
overall performance.
