Product Overview
The Cisco® WMP200 Wireless-G Business PCI Adapter with RangeBooster (Figure 1) installs in
most desktop and tower PCs and lets you put your computer almost anywhere in the building
without the cost and hassle of running network cables.
RangeBooster technology, a compatible add-on to standard Wireless-G, can nearly double the
range of your wireless network and increase its throughput by up to 35 percent. Unlike ordinary
wireless technologies that are confused by signal reflections, RangeBooster uses two smart
receivers at each end to detect and decode reflected signals at distances where standard
technologies give up. You’ll also find that “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area are reduced.
