Scalable Technology
Frequency spreading:
Basic information theory tells us that CSS benefits when
the bandwidth B of the Chirp pulse is much higher than the
data rate R: B >> R
Time spreading:
The data rate can scale independently of the BT product.
The duration T of the Chirp pulse can be chosen freely. A signal with a
very high BT product can be achieved, which transforms into a very
robust signal in the channel.

Superposed Chirps (4 possible states):

Null/Up-Chirp/Down-Chirp/
Superposition of Up- and Down-Chirp
allows one network with double the data rate

Multipath resistant:
Due to the broadband chirp pulse, CSS is very immune against
multipath fading; CSS can even take advantage of RF echoes.
Low latency:
CSS needs no synchronization; a wireless connection can be
established very quickly.
