!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
