Abstract
This document amends the Commission's rules for frequency hopping spread spectrum devices in the 2.4 GHz band (2400-2483.5 MHz). The rules were amended to allow frequency hopping spread spectrum transmitters operating in the band to use a minimum of 15 hopping channels, spanning a total of 75 MHz. The new rules will allow for hopping channels up to 5 MHz wide. The wider bandwidths will permit these systems to provide higher data speeds, thereby enabling the development of new and improved consumer products such as wireless computer local area networks and wireless cable modems.
