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 EliteConnectTM 2.4GHz 802.11b
High Power Wireless PCI Card (SMC2512W-B) connects
with an existing Ethernet installation so wireless enterprise
desktop users can gain instant network access and
resources. This new member of the EliteConnectTM family
of product line from SMC combines superior performance,
range and reliability.
The new SMC2512W-B provides wireless LAN access to
desktop computer with an available PCI slot. It offers an
incredible transmit power of 100 mW, one of the highest
in the industry. The SMC EliteConnect 802.11b High
Power Wireless PCI Card provides an operating range up
to 3 times greater than the standard 802.11b wireless
clients. Since it has the ability to significantly decrease
indoor multipath distortion, users will experience dramatic
improvements in the quality and throughput of their
wireless networking. Equipped with a detachable antenna
with two available MMCX connectors, user can connect
an optional high gain antenna (SMCANT-OM5) to increase
the already superior range of the SMC2512W-B.
Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, this 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 802.11b standard,
it is interoperable among different 802.11b compliant
vendors. The included EZ Installation Wizard enables
quick and easy setup.
The new SMC2512W-B EliteConnectTM 802.11b High Power
Wireless PCI Card provides a high level of security to
enterprises by supporting both 64/128-bit WEP encryption
and the new Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)*. It also supports
advanced enterprise level security and RADIUS
authentication through 802.1x, EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-
TTLS, PEAP, and LEAP for user authentication to ensure
only authorized users can access th e resources of the
wireless network. Moreover, profile management software
allows the new high power wireless desktop adapter the
ability to save multiple wireless settings corresponding
to different locations or networks. Furthermore, the
SMC2512W-B 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, ease-of-use and you have
a state-of-the-art, best-of-breed high power 802.11b
Wireless PCI Adapter to seamlessly integrate into a new or
existing wireless network.
