DIGITAL SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY
The IS-901 features digital Spread Spectrum Technology(DSST)which virtually eliminates noise and other interference while greatly increasing operating range. DSST uniformly spreads the signal over one of 20 independent frequency ranges, or channels, for maximum range and clarity. The base and handset share a pre­assigned digital code which interfering signals do not have, so any noise gets filtered out and the user enjoys reli able, crystal-clear sound quality.
or SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES
Smart Channel Hopping - During operation, the IS-901 constantly monitors the transmission for interference. If interference is detec ted, the phone automatically scans for and hops to the next clear channel. This hopping is instant and does not interrupt normal conversation.
Maximum Security -
of 16 million different codes making interception virtually impossible.
