Description With the 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g PC Card, notebook users can access network resources, the Internet, and e-mail at speeds up to 54 Mbps and at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). That's almost five times the speed of existing 802.11b wireless products, which makes this product ideal for small offices that work with demanding audio, video, and multimedia applications. The 11g PC card works with the 3Com Wireless 11g Access Point to create a powerful, high-speed all-wireless network in minutes. The 11g products are compatible with 11b products, so both 11b and 11g clients can reside on the same network. This flexibility preserves your network investment and allows you to upgrade or scale your network according to your budget and time frame. Setup and operation are extraordinarily easy, making these products great choices for first-time wireless users. Like all award-winning OfficeConnect products, the 11g PC card delivers reliability features such as dynamic rate shifting, which automatically matches the best connection speed to room conditions so connections stay clear and open. The PC card also employs advanced 256-bit WPA (Wireless Protected Access) encryption as well as 40/64- and 128-bit shared-key WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) encryption to help protect data on the wireless LAN. And because it is Wi-Fi certified, the PC card should work seamlessly with Wi-Fi certified products from other vendors.
