Radio Characteristics of Wireless LAN Cards may vary according to:
n country/region where the product was purchased
n Type of product
Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations. Although Wireless LAN Wireless
networking products have been designed for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz band, local radio regulations
may impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless communication equipment.
NOTE: NOTE: Refer to the flyer "Information to the User” for regulatory information that may apply in your
country/region.
RF Frequency -Band2.4GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz)
Modulation Technique -DSSS-CCK, DSSS-DQPSK, DSSS-DBPSK
The range of the wireless signal is related to the Transmit Rate of the wireless communication.
Communications at lower Transmit range may travel larger distances.
