INTRODUCTION
The 802.11g Wireless LAN PCI Card is a device that allows you connect your
computer to a wireless local area network (LAN). A wireless LAN allows your
system to use wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology to transmit and receive
data without physically attaching to the network. The Wireless protocols that
come with this product ensure data security and isolation from interference
generated by other radio frequencies.
This card also allows you to take full advantage of your computer’s mobility with
access to real-time information and online services anytime and anywhere. In
addition, this device eliminates the bother of pulling cable through walls and
under furniture. It even allows you to place your system in locations where
cabling is impossible. Modifying and augmenting networks has never been so
easy.
