Enterprise Wireless SMC2536W-AG
EliteConnect™ Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz High Power Wireless Cardbus Adapter
www.smc.com
In today’s enterprise world, mobility, flexibility, and security
are the important ingredients for enhancing the productivity
and convenience of wireless networks in corporate
environments. SMC’s new EliteConnect™ Universal
2.4GHz/5GHz High Power Wireless Cardbus Adapter
(SMC2536W-AG) connects with an existing network
installation so wireless enterprise laptop users can gain
instant network access and resources from the conference
room to the board room. This new member of the
EliteConnect™ product line from SMC combines superior
performance, range, security, and reliability.
The new SMC2536W-AG offers some of the highest tri-band
transmitting power and receive sensitivity in the industry.
The SMC EliteConnect™ Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz High
Power Wireless Cardbus Adapter provides an extended
operating range compared to the standard 802.11a/b/g
clients. Since it has the ability to significantly decrease
indoor multi-path distortion, users will experience dramatic
improvements in the quality and throughput of their
wireless networking. Equipped with the flexibility of
802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g, the SMC2536W-AG fits in
any wireless enterprise network.
Based on the IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards, the new product
can be configured for Ad-hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer) or
Infrastructure mode (communication to the wired
network via an Access Point). Since it is based on the
802.11a/b/g standard, it is interoperable among different
802.11a/b/g compliant vendors. The included EZ
Installation Wizard enables quick and easy setup, saving
time and resources when setting up the wireless users.
The new SMC2536W-AG EliteConnectTM Universal
2.4GHz/5GHz High Power Wireless Cardbus Adapter
provides a high level of security to enterprises by
supporting Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and 64/128-bit/
152-bit WEP encryption. It also supports 802.1x, EAP-
MD5, EAP-TLS, and LEAP for user authentication to
ensure only authorized users can access the resources of
the wireless network. Moreover, profile management
software allows the new high power wireless notebook
adapter the ability to save multiple wireless settings
corresponding to different locations or networks.
Furthermore, SMC2536W-AG has a built-in utility
program for scanning all available Wireless Access Points
on the network.
Combine all of these features including excellent
performance, range, reliability, and ease-of-use and you
have a state-of-the-art, best-of-breed high power
Universal Wireless Client Adapter to seamlessly
integrate into a new or existing wireless network.
