Dual-Band Wireless A+B
Notebook Adapter
Connect your notebook to both 802.11a and
802.11b wireless networks
T he Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+B Notebook Adapter lets your
notebook communicate with today's wireless network standard
and prepares you for the future. With one PC Card, you can con-
nect with the 2.4GHz, 802.11b wireless networks so prevalent in
homes, businesses and public "hotspots" already, and also a growing
number of 5GHz, 802.11a networks that are spreading across the
country.
It's simple to use. Just pop it into a PC Card slot, and run the included
Setup Wizard, which will walk you through the configuration. To keep
your communications secure, the PC Card supports up to 152-bit data
encryption.
802.11b wireless networks are commonly found in corporate environ-
ments and are used in homes for household Internet connectivity
without the need for running cables. They're also popping up all over
the country in coffee shops, airports, hotels, convention centers, and
other public spaces offering "on-the-go" connectivity to mobile users.
The 802.11a standard is almost five times faster than 802.11b, and
operates in the less crowded 5GHz radio band, but it's not as com-
mon—yet. It is quickly being deployed wherever higher-speed con-
nectivity is desired.
Join the wireless revolution. With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless
Notebook Adapter, you'll be ready to connect to either type of wireless
network, wherever you go, now and in the future.
