UBNT uses chips that are essentially software-defined radios. They
implement the 802.11 G, A and N modulation. G and A are a fairly
simple OFDM. -N is an OFDM with MIMO capability and some additional
features. FH and DS are both older spread spectrum techniques; OFDM
is wideband, but not really spread spectrum.
The N specs in particular (which work on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands)
include a lot of modulation options ("MCS"). So you can select the
modulation that works best on the link in question, and choose 5, 10,
20 or 40 MHz channels.
