The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Notebook Adapter lets

your notebook communicate with all three wireless network

standards. With one PC Card, you can connect to Wireless-

A (802.11a), Wireless-G (draft 802.11g) and Wireless-B

(802.11b) networks.

Wireless-B networks have a data rate of 11Mbps, and are

commonly found in corporate environments and in homes

for household Internet connectivity without the need for

running cables. They’re also popping up all over the coun-

try in coffee shops, airports, hotels, convention centers,

and other public spaces offering “on the go” connectivity

to mobile users.

In high speed or heavy usage environments, Wireless-B is

quickly being replaced by a new standard, Wireless-G,

which uses the same 2.4GHz radio band, but at 54Mbps, is

almost five times faster. The third wireless network standard

is Wireless-A, which also runs at 54Mbps, but operates in

the less-crowded 5GHz radio band. Wireless-A is mostly

used in corporate installations.

Whichever standard you encounter, the Dual-Band Wireless

A+G Notebook Adapter is ready to connect. And it's sim-

ple to use. Just pop it into a PC Card slot and run the

included Setup Wizard which will walk you through the con-

figuration. All wireless communications can be protected

by up to 152-bit encryption, so your data stays secure.

Join the wireless revolution. With the Linksys Dual-Band Wire-

less A+G Notebook Adapter, you'll be ready to connect to

all three types of wireless networks, wherever you go, now

and in the future.
