Introduction

The Freedom to do More…

A new generation of wireless LAN solutions is now

giving dynamic, mobile workforces the freedom to be

productive from any location across their company and

their homes. A wireless LAN standard called IEEE

802.11b (or Wi-Fi™) has emerged, delivering speeds

of up to 11 Mbps and the ability to create wireless

LANs that stretch from one end of the company to

another. This Credit Card Size Wireless CardBus PC

Card with built-in Antenna is designed for Microsoft

98/2000/Me/XP. Notebook Computers. Whether

you are on your porch outside, or in the bathroom of

your house or office, the Hawking 11M Wireless

CardBus PC Card lets you access the information you

need regardless of where you are.

Advatages of CardBus Technology

"CardBus" and "PC Card" are two alternative types of

PCMCIA interfaces (or slots) on laptops, desktops, and

PDAs. The PC Card is a 16-bit interface (20Mbps

1 -

transfers), while the CardBus is a 32-bit interface

(100Mbps+ transfers). The 32-bit interface of

CardBus supports higher data rates and, therefore, is

commonly used for high-speed networking devices.

It also offers lower power consumption: CardBus

Cards all operate at 3.3v while PC Cards operate at

either 5v or 3.3v. To simplify, the CardBus Card

allows for faster transfers with lower power

consumption: Efficiency!
