One addition was the IEEE specification which extended the operating rate of DSSS to Mbps and 11 Mbps and which represented the most popular type of wireless LAN when this book revision occurred. Both the basic and the specifications operate in the GHz unlicensed Industrial Scientific and Medical ISM band. While the Federal Communications Commission FCC in the . regulates the maximum power and transmission method the fact that the ISM band is unlicensed means that a user does not have to obtain a license to use equipment in that frequency band. A second addendum to the IEEE standard is the specification. This specification defines the use of a multi-carrier frequency transmission method in the 5 GHz ISM band. The multi-carrier frequency method is referred to as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM which results in a large number of carriers being used each of which operates at a low data rate but cumulatively they support a high data rate up to 54 Mbps. Because higher frequencies attenuate more rapidly than lower frequencies the range of devices is significantly less than that of devices. This results in a requirement to install additional access points to obtain the same area of wireless LAN coverage and increases the cost of a very high speed wireless LAN. Because many network operators require more speed than that wireless ethernet 409 provided by the specification but a higher range than that supported by the specification the IEEE has been working on a new standard referred to as which doubles the data rate of networks to
