Complete, Cost-Effective Wireless Coverage for Desktop Users

The 3Com Wireless 11a/b/g PCI Adapter supports all three existing IEEE 802.11 networking standards—11a, 11b, and 11g & 151; so users can connect to any Wi-Fi wireless network. This all-in-one support enhances the flexibility of the wireless LAN by preserving existing equipment investment and enabling administrators to mix and match radio bands to meet different coverage and bandwidth needs within the same area. Desktop users can access network resources, the Internet, and email at speeds up to 54Mbps or 108Mbps in turbo mode, ideal for multimedia applications. And Wi-Fi certification helps ensure interoperability with Wi-FI-certified products from other vendors.

The enterprise-class PCI Adapter offers a host of features that ensure secure, reliable wireless connections, with one of the most robust suites of standards-based security on the market today. The PCI Adapter supports WPA, AES, and WEP encryption to protect wireless data. MD5, 802.1x, and EAP authentication guards against unauthorized network access. To speed setup and configuration, administrators can create profiles with specific wireless LAN settings for each wireless LAN network; users just click the profile and they are configured for connection.
