Put your desktop PC anywhere you want —
high-speed networking without wires!
High-speed Wireless-G
for your desktop PC,
now with SRX perfor-
mance enhancement
Also interoperates with
standard Wireless-G and
Wireless-B networks
New SRX technology: the
farther away, the more
advantage -- up to 8 times
faster than standard Wire-
less-G (802.11g)
SRX also increases wire-
less range by up to 3
times and reduces dead
spots in coverage area
The Linksys Wireless G PCI Card with SRX installs in most desktop and tower PCs, and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the
building without the cost and hassle of running network cables. Now you don't have to drill holes in your walls and climb through the
attic or cellar to get connected to the network. Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e mail, access the Internet,
use instant messaging to chat with friends, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other comput-
ers on the network.
The Wireless-G PCI Card with SRX combines smart antenna technology with standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g) networking. By over-
laying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios, the "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology effectively doubles the 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 con-
nections up to 3 times farther than standard Wireless-G. And the farther away you are, the more advantage you get -- the higher data
rate and reflection-friendly technology can yield up to 8 times more throughput than Wireless-G in some situations. The network avoids
interference by dynamically switching to the clearest channel available. Even your standard Wireless-G and -B equipment will work
better when communicating with SRX-enabled devices.
Once you're connected, you can surf the web, keep in touch with your e-mail, and share files and other resources such as printers and
network storage with other computers on the network. To protect your data and privacy, your wireless connection is protected by up to
128-bit encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.
So don't hassle with running cables through your house — get your desktop connected the easy way with the Linksys Wireless G PCI
Card with SRX.
