HomeRF SWAP

HomeRF SWAP
In March 1998, the HomeRF Working Group (HRFWG) announced its existence and set out to
provide an open industry specification, Shared Wireless Access Protocol (SWAP), for wireless
digital communication between PCs and consumer electronic devices within the home. The
SWAP specification defines a common wireless interface supporting voice and data at 1MBps
and 2MBps data rates using frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation in the 2.4GHz frequency
band. HRFWG is currently developing a 10Mbps version of SWAP based on recent
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for wider bandwidth for frequency hopping
systems.
