MA701 Wireless Compact Flash Card. It gives handheld devices a new level of connectivity and

and receive e-mail, wirelessly synchronize with your notebook computer, and browse the Internet –

to enterprise and public IEEE 802.11b wireless hot spots for access to the Internet, e-mail, and
corporate servers. Now you can work wherever you're most productive – in a conference room,

with 40/64 and 128-bit WEP encryption and allows you to roam between 802.11b or 802.11g
Access Points without reconfiguring.
The MA701 lets you make the most of your wireless network by giving you the freedom to roam
throughout the office and stay connected. It plugs into your PDA so you can immediately share data,

up to 11 Mbps. Use with your notebook using a compact flash-to-PCMCIA adapter, sold separately.
The ability to work on the road or away from the office or school is becoming more important to
today’s mobile user. NETGEAR's MA701 lets you take full advantage of public hot spots – such as
coffee shops, hotels, shopping malls, and airports – as they increasingly offer wireless Internet access
based on the Wi-Fi 802.11b standard.
Built-in flexibility – it works with bothType I and Type II card slots. User-friendly software guides you
smoothly through installation and configuration. Dynamic Rate Shifting automatically adjusts the speed
of the adapter according to its distance from the access point. The MA701 supports both Ad-Hoc mode
(for point-to-point wireless networks) and Infrastructure mode (using your existing 802.11b Wireless
Access Point), and is compatible with Pocket PC 2000, Pocket PC 2002, and Windows Mobile 2003**.
Hardware-based, secure 64/40 and 128-bit WEP encryption provides shielded data communication
across the network without degrading network performance.

1-year limited warranty. Upgradable firmware allows for future enhancements. Works with most PDA
