Freedom of movement and flexibility of access – NETGEAR's 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card gives
you both in spades! Designed to the 802.11g specification, this versatile PC card offers
speeds up to nearly five times faster than widely deployed IEEE 802.11b wireless networks
found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the globe.
This versatile PC card works with either wireless standard, 802.11b or 802.11g, to keep
you connected today and tomorrow. Put it in your notebook PC and no matter where you
are, at home, at the office, at the airport or in other public access areas, this versatile
adapter automatically selects the best connection available, giving you constant access to
corporate resources, e-mail, and the Internet. Use it to quickly network employees, saving
the time and expense of Ethernet cabling. Easy to set up and use, it auto-selects the best
available connection and adapts the settings to match. NETGEAR's intuitive Install Wizard
makes driver installation a cinch. And with up to 128-bit WEP encryption, you can rest
assured that your wireless network communications are private.
Fully IEEE 802.11b (2.4 GHz) compliant for wireless network access from your notebook PC,
this PC Card has both standards built in, so you can connect your notebook to existing 802.11b
infrastructure, and also to the high-speed networks for the 802.11g (2.4 GHz) specification. Delivers
digital images, videos, and MP3 files at speeds of up to 54 Mbps. Dynamic rate shifting according
to environmental conditions achieves the fastest possible connections.
Supports office roaming for notebook PC users for shared broadband Internet access and
resources. Provides maximum mobility from home, the office, the airport, and other public
access areas. And the NETGEAR Wireless LAN Manager lets you create profiles that reflect
specific WLAN settings for each place you travel.
Provides the highest available level of industry-standard WEP encryption: 128-bit for both 802.11b
and 802.11g devices. Will support MAC address authentication, 802.1x and WPA with future
firmware upgrades: these enhanced security measures ensure only authorized users can access the network.
Dynamic rate shifting according to environmental conditions achieves the fastest possible connec-
tions. Thorough testing ensures quality and dependable operability, which NETGEAR backs up
with a solid 3-year warranty.
