802.11b/g Wireless LAN + GPRS/GSM

Combo Cardbus PC Card

WGC2400 Combo Card is a device that lets you connect notebo ok to a wireless local area network (LAN), GSM and
GPRS network simultaneously. A wireless LAN is like a regular LAN, except that you can share information without
looking for a place to plug in, and augment networks without installing or moving wires. Based on radio frequency
(RF) technology, a wireless LAN transmits and receives data over the air, along with the guarantee to provide privacy
and noninterference by the use of separate radio frequency. GPRS is an new wireless technology standard which
improve the data service that can be added to GSM-based personal communications service network and enable
interoperability between the Internet and the GSM network.
WGC2400 supports 802.11b and IEEE draft Std 802.11g systems. While the proprietary application of PBCCE

technology in 802.11b mode of operation provides data rates up to 22 Mbit/s, data rates up to 54 Mbit/s may be
provided in 802.11g mode of operation.
WGC2400 is a tri-band Type II card that lets you connect notebook to GSM and GPRS network. It sends and receives
data via mobile telephone networks, so it allows you to take full advantage to access to your corporate network, e-mail ,
and the Internet worldwide.
WGC2400 allows you to take full advantage of your PC’s mobility with access to real-time information and online
services anytime and anywhere. Plus, with the network installation simplicity and flexibility, you can eliminate the
need to pull cable through walls and ceilings and allow the network to go where wires cannot go. Exploring WWW
and augmenting networks can never be done more easily.
