INTRODUCING SDW11B CARD
The SDW11b is a wireless network card that complies with the IEEE 802.11b standard on wireless LANs
(Revision B).
SDW11b features and benefits
•Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) certified (Expected in Q2/04).
•Supports data rates up to 11 Mbps.
•Fully compatible with any other wireless LAN system based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
radio technology that complies with the “IEEE 802.11b standard on wireless LANs”.
•Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps.
•128 bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption and WPA support.
•Efficient Power Management.
•Roaming over multiple channels.
•Working range up to 300 meters in an open environment.
•Supports Ad-hoc and infrastructure modes for easy wireless communication.
SDW11b Wireless Network Scenarios
•The SDW11b enables you to:
•Connect your computer to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup of wireless computing devices
•Connect your computer to a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) network that includes Wi-Fi access
points.
•Connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure that includes the SDW11b, or
3
other IEEE 802.11b compliant LAN systems
Wireless stations can be equipped with the SDW11b, but also with other WLAN PC Cards. Both the
SDW11b and the WLAN PC Card share the same wireless functionality.
Peer-to-Peer (Ad-hoc) Workgroup
The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to
quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the workgroup
participants can exchange files using features like “Files and
Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft® Networking.
You can use this option to setup a temporary or Ad-hoc network
in environments where no access points are available (for
example in Small Office/Home Office “SOHO” environments).
As long as the stations are within range of one another, this is the
easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless network.
Home Networking
With SDW11b, wireless access to the Internet or other devices is
at your fingertips. All you need to do is connect the SDLink11b to an existing access point that may be
connected to the external Cable or xDSL modems and you are ready to:
Share files and printers, and
Access the Internet.
2-2-3 Enterprise Networking
With the Wi-Fi certified Access Point in the corporate network
system, you can connect to a corporate Local Area Network (LAN)
infrastructure to access all network facilities in wireless. LAN
Infrastructures may either be:
Stand-alone wireless LANs.
Wireless network infrastructures connected to an existing
Ethernet network.
