With one PC Card, you can connect with the 2.4 GHz 802.11b wireless networks already so prevalent in homes, businesses, and public hot spots, and also a growing number of 5 GHz 802.11a networks that are spreading across the country. It's simple to use. Just pop it into a PC Card slot and run the setup wizard, which will walk you through the configuration. To keep your communications secure, the dual-band card supports up to 152-bit data encryption. 802.11b wireless networks are commonly found in corporate environments, and are used in homes for household Internet connectivity without the need to run cables. They're also popping up all over the country in coffee shops, airports, hotels, convention centers, and other public spaces offering on-the-go connectivity to mobile users. The 802.11a standard is almost five times faster than 802.11b, and operates in the less-crowded 5 GHz radio band, but it's not as common--yet. It is quickly being deployed wherever higher-speed connectivity is desired. Join the wireless revolution.
