EZ Connect™ Wireless PC Card
SMC's EZ Connect Wireless PC Card is an 11Mbps wireless network
adapter that seamlessly integrates with existing Ethernet networks to
support applications for mobile users in the office or at home. This
solution offers a high data rate and reliable wireless connectivity
with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include long-
term maintenance overhead for cabling). Just install enough wireless
access points to cover your network area, plug wireless cards into
your notebooks, and start networking.
Using this card in conjunction with a wireless access point, such
as SMC2655W Wireless Access Point, you can create an instant
network that integrates seamlessly with 10Mbps Ethernet LANs.
Moreover, moving or expanding your network is as easy as
moving or installing additional access points – no wires!
