INTRODUCTION
The 802.11g Wireless LAN Card is a device that allows you to connect
your computer to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). A wireless
LAN allows your system to use wireless Radio Frequency (RF)
technology to transmit and receive data without having to physically
attach 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 hassle 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.
