1. INTRODUCTION
The WIT2410 radio transceiver provides reliable wireless connectivity for either
point-to-point or multipoint applications. Frequency hopping spread spectrum
technology ensures maximum resistance to noise and multipath fading and robustness in
the presence of interfering signals, while operation in the 2.4GHz ISM band allows
license-free use and worldwide compliance. A simple serial interface supports
asynchronous data up to 230400 bps. An on-board 3 KB buffer and an error-correcting
over-the-air protocol provide smooth data flow and simplify the task of integration with
existing applications.

1.1. Why Spread Spectrum?
The radio transmission channel is very hostile, corrupted by noise, path loss and
interfering transmissions from other radios. Even in a pure interference-free
environment, radio performance faces serious degradation through a phenomenon
known as multipath fading. Multipath fading results when two or more reflected
rays of the transmitted signal arrive at the receiving antenna with opposing phase,
thereby partially or completely canceling the desired signal. This is a problem
particularly prevalent in indoor installations. In the frequency domain, a multipath
