INTRODUCTION

The 802.11a/b/g High Power Wireless LAN mPCI 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 module 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.
