Wireless Modulation Technologies
Wireless communications uses the following modulation technologies for signaling:
• Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)—Prevents interference by spreading the signal over the
frequency range or bandwidth. DSSS technology multiplexes chunks of data over several
frequencies so that multiple devices can communicate without interference. Each device has a
special code that identifies its data packets and all others are ignored. Cisco wireless 802.11b/g
products use DSSS technology to support multiple devices on the WLAN.
