Chapter 1 Introduction
This Wireless LAN/Modem Card provides two types of connectivity on one miniscule card:
conventional modem connectivity and Wireless LAN connectivity. The card puts the IEEE
802.11b WLAN standard and V.92 Modem technology into one integrated circuit (IC) to work
in PCs, laptops and handheld devices. It effectively eliminates the need for add-in cards for the
end-users to remain connected to their corporate WLAN or the Internet.
Wireless LAN Card Features
On the WLAN side, the card uses 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
technology, adaptively adjusting its data rate from 11 Mbps to 5.5/2.0/1.0 Mbps as the signal
strength warrants. Encryption at 64 or 128-bit levels is provided. Both Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc)
and Access Pont (Infrastructure) mode are supported. In addition, its IEEE 802.11b standard
compliance ensures interoperability with other 802.11b compliant wireless LAN (WLAN)
products.
Depending on your Mini PCI
Card model, your device may
not come with Modem
functionality.
