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? What is FHSS? And what are their differences?
FHSS uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known 
to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to 
maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be 
short-duration impulse noise. 
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?
WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with 
DSSS technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the 
software side, the WLAN series offers a variety of wireless security methods to 
enhance security and access control. Users can set it up depending upon their 
needs.
Can Cisco wireless products support file and printer sharing?
Cisco wireless products perform the same function as LAN products. Therefore, 
Cisco wireless products can work with NetWare, Windows NT/2000, or other LAN 
operating systems to support printer or file sharing.
What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 40-bit 
shared-key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
