1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 802.11g Wireless LAN PCI Card. This card complies with IEEE 802.11g
standard, which supports up to 54Mbps high-speed wireless network connections. It can also work with
IEEE 802.11b devices. When the card connects to 11b devices, the link speed will be up to 11Mbps.
For WLAN security issues, this card supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your
wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature
technology. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data
transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. Furthermore,
this card supports WPA2 function, WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.
The power consumption of the card is also very low. Furthermore, this card provides several levels of
power saving modes allowing user customizes the way of saving the power from his/her portable or
handheld devices.
This card is cost-effective, together with the versatile features; it is the best solution for you to build your
wireless network.
