DSSS

The wireless LAN cards from use the DSSS process (

pectrum) to shield against interference from other transmitters that

may be using the same frequency range. A transmitter normally uses only a
very narrow range of the available frequency band for transfer. If precisely
this range is also in use by another transmitter, this will cause interference
in the transfer. In the DSSS process the transmitter uses a broader section of
the possible frequency band and so is less sensitive to narrow-band
interference. This process is also used by the military to make eavesdropping
more difficult.

The three 

AirLancers 

The 

AirLancer

 series offers you three models. This way, you can obtain

access to the wireless LAN with conventional PCs and a variety of notebooks: 

 AirLancer MC-11

PC card (according to PCMCIA standard) for notebooks 

 AirLancer USB-11

Wireless LAN adapter for the link to a USB interface 

 AirLancer PCI-11

PCI adapter for the installation of an 

AirLancer MC-11

 in a PC. An

AirLancer MC-11

 card is delivered with the product. 

 

1.5.1

Matching versions for international use 

In the ISM range, up to 13 radio channels can be used. Some countries have
only released 11 out of 13 channels for public use. This is why there are two
versions of every  wireless LAN adapter: 

The EU version can be used in the entire EU and in most of the associated
European countries. The card supports 13 radio channels and meets the
European CE standard.
