This was an odd statement since the two are certainly nor mutually exclusive. Frequency-hopping refers to the equipment your using, 802.11b refers to the transmission standards. http://www.80211-planet.com/columns/article/0,,17<nobr>8<wbr></nobr> 1_788101,00.html http://www.wirelessinternetmag.com/news/020121/02<nobr>0<wbr></nobr> 121_feature_heartland.htm
Maybe its a b-prejudice typo: The 802.11 standard predates 802.11b and uses frequency hopping.
And for the curious: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS or FH): A spread spectrum modulation technique whereby the radio transmitter frequency-hops from channel to channel in a predetermined but pseudorandom manner. The RF signal is dehopped at the radio receiver using a frequency synthesizer controlled by a pseudorandom sequence generator synchronized to the transmitter's pseudorandom sequence generator. A frequency hopper may be fast-hopped, where there are multiple hops per data bit, or slow-hopped, where there are multiple data bits per hop.
And for the really curious, which incredibly beautiful WWII-era starlet invented frequency hopping while she was a trophy wife in Germany, then donated the patent once she got her MGM contract?
