Wireless: What are the hopping specifications in TEMPEST wireless?
Tempest uses FHSS (Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum) Technology
It also employs dual transmit of audio packets to provide a robust audio/data connection between the base unit and wireless beltpacks.
Each data packet(audio/data) is sent on one frequency and then the system hops to another frequency and then sends the same 2nd data packet again.
