The InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless PC Card provides quick and easy wireless networking. For maximum wireless network performance, and to achieve balanced network bandwidth allocation, management tools include a signal quality indicator, station traffic monitor, and a site survey tool. Forty and 128-bit WEP (Wireless Equivalent Protocol) encryption plus SSID (Service Set ID) access control ensure the security of the wireless network. The Network Profile Manager permits profile saving for fast switching from home to work networks.

Featuring an advanced internal diversity antenna and complying with the IEEE 802.11b standard, the InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless PC Card is a high performance, easy-to-use wireless PC network adapter for notebook PCs.

Key Features and Benefits

Industrial IEEE 802.11b Standard Compliant
Complies with the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard.

11Mbps Transmission Speed and Quality

InstantWave's advanced radio frequency technology gives outstanding performance at up to 11Mbps data transmission/reception speed:
.Advanced internal diversity antenna for top quality transmission/reception
.Superior receiving sensitivity enhances weak data signal pickup at longer distances

Easy Installation
User-friendly interface and step-by-step instructions make the InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless PC Card quick and easy to install.

Supports Seamless Roaming:
Roam freely from Access Point to Access Point with uninterrupted network connectivity.

Comprehensive Network Management Tools
.Site Survey Tool: Scans for and displays access points by Domain Access Name and MAC Address ID. Shows WEP status, signal quality, and estimated distance to help place Access Points for optimum performance.
.Preferred AP: Enables each station to create a list that prioritizes available APs for association, allowing network administrators to plan wireless network segments and balance network traffic.
.Join AP: Allows manual selection of an AP to associate with. Join AP provides a quick alternative for users who want a fast link without going through all available prioritized APs.
.Network Profile Manager: Saves time and network configuration effort. Network Profile Manager saves network configurations for different network environments, e.g. home to office.

Secure Transmissions
.WEP: Forty & 128-bit secured WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption for securing wireless LAN data transmissions.
.SSID: Only stations using the same SSID (Service Set ID) are permitted to communicate with each other.

Advanced Autosensing 3.3 or 5 Volt Power Switching
The NWH1010 autosenses the power consumption of the notebook PC or PDA's PCMCIA slot and auto-shifts the voltage to meet the requirement; giving full compatibility with all notebook PCs or PDAs.

Supports Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP/CE
Supports multiple operating systems in both notebook PCs and Personal Digital Assistants.

11Mbps Wireless PC Card Application Scenarios



Ad-Hoc Mode:

For temporary networks in seconds, ad hoc mode (also called peer-to-peer mode) offers a fast and secure network solution. Ideal for mobile groups, e.g. auditors, who need short time cost-effective connectivity.

   



Mixed Wired/Wireless Infrastructure Mode:

Notebook PC users communicate via one or more Access Points with an existing network backbone. Allows access to all normal network resources from anywhere within range of an Access Point.
   

Supports Windows CE for PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants)

The InstantWave WLC110 Wireless PC Card enables PDA users to quickly connect to the network wirelessly.
