1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the SP906GK. It complies with IEEE 802.11g standard and
supports up to 54Mbps high-speed wireless network connections. It can also work
with IEEE 802.11b devices. When SP906GK is connected to 11b devices, the link
speed will be up to 11Mbps.
It enables higher data throughput than the IEEE 802.11g standard (up to 54Mbps) and
supports specific ways to increase the data transfer rate for a time by compressing the
data and decreasing the waiting time to send the next data to the Routers or APs in
Turbo Mode. When SP906GK is connected to the Routers or APs with the proprietary
Turbo Mode feature, the wireless network will be even more efficient.
For WLAN security issues, SP906GK supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that
protects your wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) feature that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client user authorization is required before accessing
to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted
by a dynamically changed secret key. Furthermore, SP906GK supports AES function,
offering a stronger encryption mechanism, which is often required by corporate and
government users.
SP906GK power consumption is also very low. SP906GK has several levels of power
saving modes, allowing user to customize from portable or handheld devices the way
he/she wishes to save power.
With its various features and ability to support advanced technology, SP906GK is the
most cost-effective solution to build your wireless network.
