Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-7200AP Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11a, 802.11b and the 802.11g
standards.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
data rate up to 54Mbps (108Mbps in Super AG Mode) within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing
OFDM technology.
This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you
will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over
your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-
speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller
sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the
receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The D-Link DWL-7200AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed
to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.
The DWL-7200AP offers the most advanced network security features available today,
including WPA.
In addition to its compatibility with 802.11g and 802.11a devices, the DWL-7200AP
is compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you have an existing 802.11b
network, or a network with a mixture of 802.11g, 802.11a and 802.11b, the devices in
that network will be compatible with the DWL-7200AP.
