www.smc.com
The EZ Connect™ g 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless Cardbus
Adapter (SMCWCB-G) is another cutting edge introduc-
tion in 2.4GHz wireless communication for your laptop.
Designed for both business and home users, this adapter
provides the speed, coverage, and security expected by
today’s wireless users. Based on the IEEE 802.11g
standard, the new EZ Connect g Wireless Adapter is 5
times faster than the widely used 802.11b wireless
networking devices and is 100% compatible with existing
802.11b wireless networks. The SMCWCB-G is extremely
fast and can handle streaming video, multimedia and all
other bandwidth-intensive applications. Wireless clients
can now easily obtain instant, seamless high-speed
network connection. The new and improved SMCWCB-G
significantly increases the performance of mixed-mode
(802.11b and 802.11 g) networks and 802.11g-only
networks - up to 3x more throughput in mixed-mode
networks and up to 50% throughput improvement in
802.11g-only networks.
The EZ Connect™ g Wireless Adapter includes an EZ
Installation Wizard that enables quick and easy setup.
Simply put the EZ Installation Wizard CD into your
CD-ROM drive, click on Install Driver/Utility Link, the
wizard will perform the installation automatically. Then
plug in your EZ Connect g Wireless Card into the PCMCIA
slot of your laptop, you are now ready to enjoy the
freedom of wireless networking.
The new SMCWCB-G EZ Connect g Wireless Cardbus
Adapter offers high-speed data rate at up to 54Mbps.
This adapter provides a high level of security by supporting
both 64/128-bit WEP encryption and the WiFi Protected
Access (WPA). Moreover, profile management software
allows the new wireless notebook adapter the ability to
save multiple wireless settings corresponding to different
locations or networks. Furthermore, SMCWCB-G has a
built-in utility program for scanning all available Wireless
Access Points on the network. Free 24/7 technical
support is available.
