The Client Card combined with the supplied network adapter drivers,
and one of the major local area network programs, provides transparent,
wireless communications through the following Aironet products to net-
work nodes:
Radio Modules - provide wireless communication in any portable
or fixed computer.
Access Points - provide wireless data communication between an
Ethernet network and fixed, portable or mobile wireless computers.
Bridges - provide wireless bridges between two or more Ethernet
LANs and can also function as access points.
Client Cards - Adapter cards that are installed in ISA and MCA
computers to allow wireless communications.
The Client Card contains random access memory (RAM), and a co-pro-
cessor to transfer data to and from the PC’s operating system. (See Fig-

An accompanying Radio Module with an
integrated Antenna attaches to the Client Card via a tether cable, and
can be mounted on the computer to ensure the best radio range.
