DSSS can show some improvement if antenna diversity is used. However, building in antenna diversity causes the final product to be larger, heavier and costlier. Because of their efficiency, FHSS networks are inherently able to provide three to four times more total network capacity than DSSS networks. All known DSSS implementations are constrained by this limitation. FHSS networks have far more capacity both in theory and in practice.
Theory predicts at least three times as much total network capacity.
This is four times as much as gross bandwidth as any DSSS product in the 2.4 GHz band. Adding a second AP to an area in a R ANGE LAN2 network and configuring it to a new channel number immediately doubles the bandwidth in that area. Users roaming into the area will be randomly assigned to one of the two APs, effectively doubling the accessible wireless bandwidth for this area. This advantage is possible because R ANGE LAN2 products support fast synchronization and roaming between channels. This advantage is not available to DSSS networks.
