1.1 Product Overview
The Mode Com MC-105USB 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Card gives you the freedom of secure high-speed com-
munications with other PCs without the need for interconnecting wires. You can even connect in to other LAN
infrastructures such as your company’s internal Ethernet LAN or your own home network. The antenna and de-
sign of the Wireless LAN Card gives you unmatched sensitivity which means your system will remain connec-
ted to other wireless PCs at high speeds for longer distances.
The Wireless LAN Card operates according to the IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless LAN specification, for wireless data
communications at speeds up to 54Mbps (Megabits per second). IEEE 802.11b/g operates on frequencies in
the 2.4GHz range using OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology.
Backed by international standards and the IEEE organization, IT departments and end-users alike benefit from
the reliability and interoperability of products based on these standards. From an investment point of view, it
makes good business sense investing in technology that will be support worldwide for many years to come
(unlike technologies not backed by international communications standards). Whether you are running a com-
pany or a home office, the Wireless LAN Card reduces, or eliminates in some cases, the need to setup wired LAN
networks in the office or home office, eliminating costs associated with wiring rooms and buildings.
