Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX
(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 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum 
technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN offers the encryption 
function (WEP) to enhance security and access control.
What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a shared key algorithm, as described in the 
IEEE 802.11 standard.
