Applications and Advantages

•Wireless roaming with a laptop around the home or office Offers the freedom of networking without cables

•Connection rates of up to 54Mbps or 125Mbps* using HSM 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

802.11g wireless LAN solutions are backward-compatible with existing Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) products and with other products that display the 54g mark and/or 125HSM 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), on a short-term basis; also companies who need additional workstations for a peak activity period.

•SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) networking needs Provides the easy and quick, small network installation SOHO users need.
