SMC Networks 2.4GHz/5GHz manual Package Checklist, Introduction

Introduction

In addition, both wireless bridge models offer full network management capabilities through an easy-to-use web interface, a command-line interface, and support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) tools.

Radio Characteristics – The IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g standards use a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). The 802.11a standard operates in the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band, and the 802.11g standard in the 2.4 GHz band.

IEEE 802.11g includes backward compatibility with the IEEE 802.11b standard. IEEE 802.11b also operates at 2.4 GHz, but uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation technology to achieve a communication rate of up to 11 Mbps.

The wireless bridge provides a 54 Mbps half-duplex connection for each active channel (up to 108 Mbps in turbo mode on the 802.11a interface).
