2.4GHz 802.11b High Power Wireless PCI Card

Model Number:: SMC2512W-B

In today’s enterprise world, mobility, flexibility, and security are the important ingredients for enhancing the productivity and con- venience of wireless networks in corporate environments. SMC’s new EliteConnect 2.4GHz 802.11b High Power Wireless PCI Card (SMC2512W-B) connects with an existing Ethernet installation so wireless enterprise desktop users can gain instant network access and resources. This new member of the EliteConnect family of product line from SMC combines superior performance, range and reliability.

The new SMC2512W-B provides wireless LAN access to desktop computer with an available PCI slot. It offers an incredible trans- mit power of 200mW, one of the highest in the industry. The SMC EliteConnect 802.11b High Power Wireless PCI Card provides an operating range up to 3 times greater than the standard 802.11b wireless clients. Since it has the ability to significantly decrease indoor multipath distortion, users will experience dramatic improvements in the quality and throughput of their wireless net- working. Equipped with a detachable antenna with two available MMCX connectors, user can connect an optional high gain anten- na (SMCANT-OM5) to increase the already superior range of the SMC2512W-B.

Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, this new product can be con- figured for Ad-hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer) or Infrastructure mode (communication to the wired network via an Access Point). Since it

is based on 802.11b standard, it is interoperable among different 802.11b compliant vendors. The included EZ Installation Wizard enables quick and easy setup.

The new SMC2512W-B EliteConnect 802.11b High Power Wireless PCI Card provides a high level of security to enterprises by sup- porting both 64/128-bit WEP encryption and the new Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)*. It also supports advanced enterprise level secu- rity and RADIUS authentication through 802.1x, EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and LEAP for user authentication to ensure only authorized users can access the resources of the wireless network. Moreover, profile management software allows the new high power wireless desktop adapter the ability to save multiple wire- less settings corresponding to different locations or networks. Furthermore, the SMC2512W-B has a built-in utility program for scanning all available Wireless Access Points on the network.

Combine all of these features including excellent performance, range, reliability, ease-of-use with our free 24/7 technical support and you have a state-of-the-art, best-of-breed high power 802.11b Wireless PCI Adapter to seamlessly integrate into a new or existing wireless network.

*Available under Windows XP. Support for Windows 98SE/ME/2000 will be available Q1 2004
