Wireless SMCWCB-GM
EZ Connect™MIMO 802.11g Wireless Cardbus Adapter
www.smc.com
The new EZ Connect™MIMO 802.11g MIMO Wireless Cardbus
Adapter (SMCWCB-GM) enables you to connect to 802.11g or
802.11b wireless networks at home, at the office or at public
hotspots.
The SMCWCB-GM provides the speed, coverage, and security
expected by today’s wireless users when they communicate,
download or upload large files, stream audio, video or use other
bandwidth-intensive applications. The SMCWCB-GM is based on
an advanced Ralink MIMO G chipset that is compliant with the
IEEE 802.11g standard and certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. This
MIMO Wireless Cardbus Adapter when used in its MIMO mode
with a compatible MIMO router or access point, is 20 times
faster than older 802.11b wireless networking devices and yet is
100% backwards compatible with them.
The SMCWCB-GM significantly increases the performance of
mixed-mode (802.11b and 802.11g) actual networks and in MIMO-
only networks – provides up to 35% more throughput.
The SMCWCB-GM MIMO Wireless Cardbus Adapter includes an
EZ Installation Wizard for quick and easy setup. Simply put the
EZ Installation Wizard CD into your laptop PC’s CD-ROM drive,
click on Install Driver/Utility Link, and the wizard will perform
the installation automatically. Then plug in your SMCWCB-GM
into the PCMCIA slot of your laptop and you are ready to enjoy
the freedom of wireless networking.
The SMCWCB-GM adapter also provides a high level of security
by supporting both 64/128-bit WEP encryption and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA). The SMCWCB-GM’s WLAN utility scans
for all available wireless networks and its profile management
allows you to save names and settings of multiple networks, so
connecting becomes instantaneous.
To expand your wireless network and to take full advantage of
the MIMO speeds, purchase the SMCWBR14-GM MIMO Wireless
Router and the SMCWPCI-GM MIMO Wireless PCI Adapter for
your desktop computers. Go online or visit your SMC dealer
