Chapter 1 Product Overview

1.1 Introduction

The Wireless 108Mbps USB 2.0 Adapter delivers the performance and

capabilities that every mobile user is looking for. Embedded with Atheros

chipset, it boasts network robustness, stability and wider coverage for long-

range connectivity. Despite its small size, the USB adapter is big on features;

compatibility with wireless 802.11 networks ensures that you can be connected

easily.

Bandwidth needs in the home are increasing rapidly with the introduction of

new devices and services. As broadband infrastructure becomes common in

homes, the demand for multimedia services such as video streaming or VoIP

also increases.

Connecting to a wireless LAN without adequate security measures generally

opens up your shared folders to any casual snoopers. To protect your privacy,

the USB adapter is armed with many enhanced wireless security features such

as WPA, IEEE 802.1x Authentication and 64/128/152-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent

Privacy) to ensure privacy for the heterogeneous mix of users within the same

wireless LAN while maintaining full access to the establishment’s resources.
