INTRODUCTION

1.3.1 Connectivity

With the Cabletron Systems FreeLINK Wireless LAN System you

can connectEthernet nodes within an wireless 80 meter radius of

the transmitter hub antenna. The FreeLINK system accommodates

up to 62 wireless transceivers, distributed anywhere within the 80

meter operating radius.

1.3.2 Spread Spectrum Technology

Spread spectrum radio communications is a technique used to

transmit radio signals that was originally developed for the

military. It was initially implemented in the 1950s for use in

battleÞeld voice communications because it is extremely difÞcult

to detect that the signal is even present, and if detected, it is even

more difÞcult to decode. It is extremely difÞcult to interfere with,

or jam, the signal.

There are two techniques used in spread spectrum: frequency

hopping and direct sequence. Most wireless network systems

today, including FreeLINK, use direct sequence. Spread spectrum

radio, and FreeLINK in particular, resists detection and

interference, and allows multiple systems to operate in the same

area (hence permitting overlapping FreeLINK hubs). This level of

security far exceeds that of narrow-band transmission and

unshielded twisted pair wire, and uses very little power.

1.3.3 Data Security

Spread spectrum radio transmission techniques were used

exclusively by the U.S. Army since the 1950s for battleÞeld

communications. Spread spectrum has been used since 1967 by the

Israeli military for voice and telemetry communications. The

overriding reason for the militaryÕs extensive use of spread

spectrum is its inherent data security characteristic.
