INTRODUCTION
A wireless LAN is like a regular LAN, except
that you can share information without looking
for a place to plug in, and augment networks
without installing or moving wires. Based on
radio frequency (RF) technology, a wireless LAN
transmits and receives data over the air, along
with the guarantee to provide privacy and
noninterference by the use of separate radio
frequency.
The 802.11b Wireless CompactFlash Card is the
perfect solution for your wireless network
applications and based on the IEEE 802.11b
standard offering a data rate of 11Mbps in a
wireless LAN environment. It is a high-speed
wireless network card that connect directly to
your PDA or Notebook (with a passive
adapter)—just plug it in and you’re ready to share
data, printers, or high speed Internet access over
your existing wireless network. User-friendly
software makes it simple to set up.
