Standards - Based Technology
The IEEE 802.11b standard designates that devices operate at an optimal
data rate of 11 Megabits per second. This means you will be able to transfer
large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network
without noticeable delays. This technology works by using multiple
frequencies in the 2.4GHz range utilizing Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS) technology. D-Link Air products will automatically sense the best
possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible
with the technology.
