www.smc.com

The EZ Connect™ g 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless Cardbus Adapter (SMCWCB-G) is another cutting edge introduction in 2.4GHz wireless communication for your laptop. Designed for both business and home users, this adapter provides the speed, coverage, and security expected by today’s wireless users. Based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, the new EZ Connect g Wireless Adapter is 5 times faster than the widely used 802.11b wireless networking devices and is 100% compatible with existing

802.11b wireless networks. The SMCWCB-G is extremely fast and can handle streaming video, multimedia and all other bandwidth-intensive applications. Wireless clients can now easily obtain instant, seamless high-speed network connection. The new and improved SMCWCB-G significantly increases the performance of mixed-mode (802.11b and 802.11 g) networks and 802.11g-only networks - up to 3x more throughput in mixed-mode networks and up to 50% throughput improvement in

802.11g-only networks.

The EZ Connect™ g Wireless Adapter includes an EZ Installation Wizard that enables quick and easy setup. Simply put the EZ Installation Wizard CD into your CD-ROM drive, click on Install Driver/Utility Link, the wizard will perform the installation automatically. Then plug in your EZ Connect g Wireless Card into the PCMCIA slot of your laptop, you are now ready to enjoy the freedom of wireless networking.

The new SMCWCB-G EZ Connect g Wireless Cardbus Adapter offers high-speed data rate at up to 54Mbps. This adapter provides a high level of security by supporting both 64/128-bit WEP encryption and the WiFi Protected Access (WPA). Moreover, profile management software allows the new wireless notebook adapter the ability to save multiple wireless settings corresponding to different locations or networks. Furthermore, SMCWCB-G has a built-in utility program for scanning all available Wireless Access Points on the network. Free 24/7 technical support is available.
