INTRODUCTION

The 802.11b/g Wireless PCIe Mini 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.
