Features & Benefits

!Five times faster - achieve data transfer speeds up to 54 Mbps; up to 5x faster than conventional 802.11b networks, when used with other 802.11g devices

!Fully compliant with the 802.11b standard and interoperable with all existing 802.11b-compliant and 802.11g compliant devices

!Provides a simple and inexpensive way to connect your desktop com- puter to a wireless network at home, at the office, or in public places

!Quick and Easy Installation- The DWL-G520 installs quickly and easily into a standard PCI 2.2 slot in a desktop computer. By following the simple steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide, you can connect to an available wire- less network in a matter of seconds

!High Performance 32-bit PCI - The high capacity PCI interface utilized by the DWL-G520 ensures optimal performance in transmitting a wireless signal within the desktop computer. By utilizing a standard PCI 2.2 interface, the DWL-G520 ensures a wide range of compatibility with motherboards used by PC manufac- turers

!Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range

!Maximum reliability, throughput and connectivity with automatic data rate switching

!Supports Infrastructure networks via an access point and Peer-to-Peer communication in Ad-Hoc mode

!User-friendlyconfiguration and diagnostic utilities

!Provides a measure of security for the information transmitted over a wireless network with high data encryption at 64-, 128-, and 152-bit WEP

!Stronger Security than ever before with WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automati- cally at regular intervals, for example:

!TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS server, changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater security

!Pre-Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS server, will obtain a new security key every time he or she connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the net- work

!Extra Protection - 802.1x Authentication in conjunction with the RADIUS server verifies the identity of wireless clients wishing to gain access to the
