WLAN PC Card

1. Product General Information

1.1. Product Description

GL242201, the wireless Ethernet adapter for Card bus- compliant

notebook PCs, is fully compatible with IEEE 802.11b standard

and supporting higher data rate to 22Mbps. Using Direct

Sequence spread spectrum technology for immunity from

interference, it will automatically fallback to lower data rate in the

environment of interference.

22Mbps data rate is designed by the Packet Binary Convolution Code (PBCC) modulation technique. The software

supports Windows OS such as Win98, Win2000, WinME and WinXP. The PC card for your laptop is designed with an

integrated diversity antenna which would increase the receiving and transmitting sensitivity.

1.2. Product Feature

● IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence high rate compatible.

● Based on DSSS Technology and support the modulation of PBCC mode

● High-Speed wireless connection up to 22Mbps data rate, and supports 11/5.5/2/1 Mbps 802.11b standard

● Advanced Power Management supports power saving mode for battery device

● Auto fallback data rate in the environment of interference

● 64/128/256 Bits WEP Encryption function

● High through-put supports multi-media data bandwidth requirement

● Built-in PCB patch diversity antenna or external antenna support.

● Supports Card Bus interface

1.3. Product Application

● Wireless Networking in Enterprise, SOHO and Home environment

● Wireless Networking Access in Hot Spot area such as Airport, Hotel, School, Convention center, Coffee shop, …

etc.

● Mobile media through wireless LAN

● Mobile networking for notebook PC, and Mobile devices

● Wireless access to devices such as Printer, Scanner, WebCAM, … etc.

● Build system in Ad-Hoc for Host-Client appliance or Infrastructure mode for multi-access
