2.4 802.11g
Technical specifications
The 802.11g standard operates in the 2.4 GHz band and applies OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) with CCK (Complementary Code Keying) or optionally PBCC (Packet Binary Convolutional
Coding) as modulation technique. The data transfer can be up to 54 Mbps, but will be scaled back to 48, 36,
24, 18, 12, 9 or 6 Mbps (this is known as Adaptive Rate Selection), when the signal quality becomes an issue.
802.11b allows 64 users per access point.
802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b.
