What is ad-hoc mode? 

When a wireless network is set to ad-hoc mode, the wireless-equipped computers are 
configured to communicate directly with each other. The ad-hoc wireless network will not 
communicate with any wired network. 

What is infrastructure mode? 

When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is 
configured to communicate with a wired network through a wireless access point. 

What is ISM band? 

The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for 
unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the 
vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly 
revolutionary opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in the 
hands of users around the globe. 

What is Spread Spectrum? 

Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the 
military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is 
designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other 
words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but 
the trade-off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, 
provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being 
broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal 
looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, 
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum 
(FHSS). 

What is DSSS? 

Direct-Sequence Spread- Spectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for each 
bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code). The longer the 
chip, the greater the probability that the original data can be recovered. Even if one or 
more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded 
in the radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To an 
unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected 
(ignored) by most narrowband receivers. 

Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air? 

Instant wireless products feature two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, 
as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it generates security feature of 
scrambling. On the software side, instant wireless products offer the encryption function 
(WEP) to enhance security and access control. Users can set it up depending upon their 
needs. Can instant wireless products support file and printer sharing? Instant wireless 
products perform the same function as LAN products. Therefore, instant wireless 
products can work with NetWare, Windows NT/2000, or other LAN operating systems to 
support printer or file sharing. 

What is WEP?
