Provides immediate, higher-speed wireless connectivity at home, work, and hot
spot locations without compromising the use of existing 802.11b products.
• Compatibility with 802.11b products
54g wireless LAN solutions are backward-compatible with existing Wi-Fi (IEEE
802.11b) products and with other products that display the 54g mark.
• Difficult-to-wire environments
Enables networking in buildings with solid or finished walls, or open areas
where wiring is difficult to install.
• Frequently changing environments
Adapts easily in offices or environments that frequently rearrange or
change locations.
• Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time
Sets up temporary networks such as at trade shows, exhibitions, and
constructions sites, which need networks on a short-term basis; also
companies who need additional workstations for a peak activity period.
