High-speed Wireless-N Notebook
Network Adapter for your business
The Wireless-N Notebook Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in
your notebook computer. Just slide it into your notebook’s PC Card slot and enjoy incredible
high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility.
The Wireless-N Notebook Adapter uses the very latest wireless networking technology,
Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios,Wireless-N’s ”Multiple
In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless
networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these
reflections to increase the range and reduce ”dead spots”in the wireless coverage area. The robust
signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections significantly further than standard
Wireless-G.
With Wireless-N, the further away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with
standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the
throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much radio band.
Once you’re connected you can keep in touch with your e-mail,access the Internet, and share files and
other resources, like printers and network storage, with other computers on the network. It doesn’t
matter where your work takes you, you can access the web or use instant messaging to communicate
with your virtual office. You will also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public
hotspots in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels, and convention centers. Your wireless connection is
protected by industrial-strength WPA2 encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through
configuring the adapter to your network’s settings, step by step.
The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes the Adapter ideal for media-centric applications, like streaming
video and Voice over IP telephony.You will have plenty of bandwidth to simultaneously run multiple
media-intense data streams through the network with no degradation in performance. Get your notebook
connected to Wireless-N,Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networks with the Wireless-N Notebook Adapter from
Linksys.
Used together with a Linksys WAP4400N, the New AP and New Client Detection functions detect and
alert you of a previously unseen AP or a new client.Visibility and protection combined with versatility and
performance make the Wireless-N Notebook Network Adapter ideal for your business needs.
