2.1
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND CHARACTERISTICS
2.1.1
COMPATIBILITY
The M10II is compatible with all IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II LAN devices,
all operating systems and all protocol stacks. The M10II is completely
transparent to the network operating system.
2.1.2
RELIABILITY
The retransmission function at the radio MAC layer provides enhanced
reliability and throughput by avoiding long time-outs caused by
retransmissions performed at higher levels.
2.1.3
DATA SECURITY
Security is a great concern with any data transmission system. Wireless
data systems may be of even greater concern because of the leakage of
transmitter waveforms beyond the intended receiver sites. The M10II
offers excellent security without incorporating conventional cryptography.
Of course, the user always has the option to add conventional data
encryption technology to the most critical applications.
Most commercial spread spectrum manufacturers use fixed spreading codes
in their products. The M10II radio, with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS), uses continuously changing, pseudo-random spreading codes, in
which each symbol is encoded with a different spreading code.
Furthermore, the user may select from 64k different sequences to determine
the order in which the spreading codes are used; this provides excellent
security against eavesdropping by unintended parties.
2.1.4
TARIFFS AND LICENSES
No FCC License is required.
