Chapter 1: Introduction

Complying with the most innovative 802.11n technology, PLANET delivers a reliable and cost effective solution - WNL-9330. WNL-9330 is a PCI 2.2 wireless adapter which integrates one transmit channel and two concurrent receive channels; thus, it supports up to 150Mbps upload and 300Mbps download data rate. Using 2.4GHz frequency band; it is backward compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g for users to create a new wireless environment based on existing wireless network.

The WNL-9330 provides a feature rich wireless connectivity. It supports WMM to maintain stable multimedia quality by granting high priority for such packets. For security, the WNL-9330 supports the most advanced mechanism, WPA2, to protect the information exchange through wireless. Moreover, in order to simplify the security configurations, WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is enhanced in WNL-9330. This design helps inexperienced users to secure their wireless network quickly and easily.

The WNL-9330 supports most popular operating systems, Windows 2000 / XP / Vista. With advanced features and high speed capability, the WNL-9330 gives users the greatest performance anytime anywhere.
