Introduction
The GemTek WL-201 WL-205 and WL-301 ISA Wireless Local
Area Network (WLAN) PC/ISA Cards are a devices that provides
connectivity between mobile stations in a wireless Local Area
Network (LAN). The mobile station can be a portable computer,
laptop, notebook computer or Personal Computer that is equipped
with a PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association) Type-II /or an ISA slot.
Additionally, the WLAN PC Card is used with an Access Point,
which is a device that provides wireless bridge function to connect a
wireless LAN to a wired Ethernet LAN.
The WL-201/205/301 PC/ISA Card combined with PCMCIA/ISA
adapter and radio frequency transmitter, receiver module in one
package, it follows the PCMCIA type-II/ISA bus standard and
IEEE802.11 protocol of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
technology. The wireless PC/ISA cards bring the benefits of LAN
connectivity without the use of network cables for data
communication.
