Connect From Your Notebook PC Wherever You Are

and cafes. Whether you are in a conference room, waiting for a flight, or out on the quad on
a warm day, you can be fully productive without being at your desk. Use this well-designed
card to quickly network your employees without the time or expense of installing Ethernet
cabling. It lets you experience data speeds of up to 11 Mbps, greater range with automatic
speed adjustment, and greater safety with secure encryption – all for a moderate price.
