DSMX
™
User Guide
Spektrum launched the 2.4GHz RC revolution with its DSM2
™
technology. Since then millions
of hobbyists the world over have come to embrace 2.4 as the way to fly. Spektrum leads the
way yet again with DSMX; the world’s first wideband, frequency-agile 2.4GHz signal protocol.
How Does DSMX Work?
It’s a crowded 2.4GHz world out there and every 2.4GHz system faces the same challenges.
DSMX better equips you for these challenges by combining the superior data capacity and
interference resistance of a wideband signal (like that used in DSM2) with the agility of
frequency shifts.
Compared to the wideband signal of DSMX, the narrow band signal of other frequency
hopping 2.4 transmitters is more likely to suffer data loss in the event of on-channel
interference. Think of it as a river vs. a stream. It takes more interference to dam
a river than it does a stream.
As more and more 2.4 transmitters vie for the same number of available channels, there is
more interference and more of a risk for data loss. By adding the agility of frequency shifts
to the superior interference resistance of a wideband signal, DSMX is far less likely to suffer
significant data loss from on-channel interference. The result is quicker connection times
and superior response in even the most crowded 2.4GHz environment.
