108M BPS WLAN C ARDBUS
Introduction
The 108Mbps WLAN Cardbus is an IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter that
seamlessly integrates with existing Ethernet networks to support applications such as
mobile users or temporary conferences. This solution offers a high data rate and reliable
wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include
long-term maintenance overhead for cabling.) Just install enough wireless access points
to cover your network area, plug wireless cards into your notebooks, and start
networking.
Using this card in conjunction with a wireless access point, you can create an instant
network that integrates seamlessly with 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LANs. Moreover, moving
or expanding your network is as easy as moving or installing additional access points –
no wires!
