802.11b 11Mbps Wireless Compact Flash Card

Access Your Wireless Network from Your PDA

If you’re a mobile professional using a Pocket PC or PDA, you'll want to get a hold of NETGEAR’s

MA701 Wireless Compact Flash Card. It gives handheld devices a new level of connectivity and

versatility! Slip it into either a Type I or Type II card slot on your handheld device and you can send

and receive e-mail, wirelessly synchronize with your notebook computer, and browse the Internet –

all from the palm of your hand. The indispensable MA701 delivers the ultimate in convenience

to enterprise and public IEEE 802.11b wireless hot spots for access to the Internet, e-mail, and

corporate servers. Now you can work wherever you're most productive – in a conference room,

on the road, in a coffee shop or hotel, or at the airport. The reliable MA701 protects your privacy

with 40/64 and 128-bit WEP encryption and allows you to roam between 802.11b or 802.11g

Access Points without reconfiguring.

The MA701 lets you make the most of your wireless network by giving you the freedom to roam throughout the office and stay connected. It plugs into your PDA so you can immediately share data, printers or high-speed Internet access over your existing 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network at speeds up to 11 Mbps. Use with your notebook using a compact flash-to-PCMCIA adapter, sold separately.

The ability to work on the road or away from the office or school is becoming more important to today’s mobile user. NETGEAR's MA701 lets you take full advantage of public hot spots – such as coffee shops, hotels, shopping malls, and airports – as they increasingly offer wireless Internet access based on the Wi-Fi 802.11b standard.

Built-in flexibility – it works with both Type I and Type II card slots. User-friendly software guides you smoothly through installation and configuration. Dynamic Rate Shifting automatically adjusts the speed of the adapter according to its distance from the access point. The MA701 supports both Ad-Hoc mode (for point-to-point wireless networks) and Infrastructure mode (using your existing 802.11b Wireless Access Point), and is compatible with Pocket PC 2000, Pocket PC 2002, and Windows Mobile 2003**.

Hardware-based, secure 64/40 and 128-bit WEP encryption provides shielded data communication across the network without degrading network performance.

Thorough testing ensures quality and dependable operability, and NETGEAR backs this up with a 1-year limited warranty. Upgradable firmware allows for future enhancements. Works with most PDA devices – see back for details.
