Appendix D: Standards-based Technology
The AutoView Wireless transmitter and receiver utilize a proprietary design based on the
802.11a standard. The IEEE 802.11a standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It
increases the data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 5 GHz band, utilizing Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology.
This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM
technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are
then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount
of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
