Spread spectrum technology is a method of taking data that might normally travel as one message on a single frequency,and breaking it up into small packets(a series of bits containing data,control,and source and destination addresses information).These packets then travel over many frequencies in the band.Actress Hedy Lamarr helped develop spread spectrum techniques during World War II to prevent unauthorized interception of messages.While the military has used spread spectrum in their bands for the past 60 years,it's only been available commercially over the last 10 years.The most prevalent method of using multiple frequencies is by hopping from one frequency to another every fraction of a second until the message fully transmits.
