11Mbps Wireless

PC Card

INTRODUCT

The 802.11b Wireless 16bit PC Card is a device that lets you connect your notebook to a wireless local area network (LAN).

A wireless LAN is like a regular LAN, except that you can share information without looking for a place to plug in, and augment networks without installing or moving wires. Based on radio frequency (RF) technology, a wireless LAN transmits and receives data over the air, along with the guarantee to provide privacy and noninterference by the use of se parate radio frequency.

The 802.11b Wireless 16bit PC Card allows you to take full advantage of your PC's mobility with access to real-time information and online services anytime and anywhere. Plus, with the network installation simplicity and flexibility, you can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings and allow the network to go where wires cannot go. Exploring WWW and augmenting networks can never be done more easily.
