8.2. Spread Spectrum Technology
As mentioned previously, the most common form of security provided for fixed wireless Internet access is SST. SST was originally developed for the military so that wireless military transmissions could be broadcast without fear of an enemy deciphering the communication or jamming the signal.
SST is a wideband RF technology. It converts the narrowband fixed wireless signal and outputs a wideband signal. The WMTS receives the wideband signal and converts it back to a narrowband and pieces the information back together. When the narrowband signal is distributed over a wideband signal, it scrambles the data, making it difficult for any device that does not have the conversion information to piece it back together. ...
