Wireless LAN Card Features

The Wireless LAN Card is a wireless network card that fits into a Mini-PCI TypeIII slot.

Wireless LAN Card Types

The Wireless LAN Card is a wireless network card that complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard on wireless

LANs (Revision A, B) and Turbo Mode. Revision A supports data rates up to 54 Mbit/s. Revision B supports

data rates up to 11 Mbit/s. Turbo Mode supports data rates up to 108 Mbit/s.

 Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. This means that your Wireless hardware will

communicate with other vendors’ IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless LAN product. The 'Wi-Fi CERTIFIED'

logo is a certification mark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.

 Fully compatible with any other wireless LAN system based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)/

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology that complies with the “IEEE

802.11 standard on wireless LANs (Revision A, B ).
