Five times faster - achieve data transfer speeds up to 54 Mbps; up to 5x
faster than conventional 802.11b networks, when used with other 802.11g
devices
!
Fully compliant with the 802.11b standard and interoperable with all

Quick and Easy Installation- The DWA-520 installs quickly and easily into a
standard PCI 2.2 slot in a desktop computer. By following the simple steps
outlined in the Quick Installation Guide, you can connect to an available wire-
less network in a matter of seconds
!
High Performance 32-bit PCI - The high capacity PCI interface utilized by the
DWA-520 ensures optimal performance in transmitting a wireless signal within
the desktop computer. By utilizing a standard PCI 2.2 interface, the DWA-520
ensures a wide range of compatibility with motherboards used by PC manufac-
turers
!
Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range
!
Maximum reliability, throughput and connectivity with automatic data rate
switching
!
Supports Infrastructure networks via an access point and Peer-to-Peer
communication in Ad-Hoc mode
!
User-friendly configuration and diagnostic utilities
!
Provides a measure of security for the information transmitted over a
wireless network with high data encryption at 64-, 128-, and 152-bit WEP
!
Stronger Security than ever before with WPA/WPA2 - Wi-Fi Protected
Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes
automatically at regular intervals, for example:
!
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS
server, changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater
security
!
Pre-Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS
server, will obtain a new security key every time he or she connects to
the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the net-
work
!
Extra Protection - 802.1x Authentication in conjunction with the RADIUS
server verifies the identity of wireless clients wishing to gain access to the
WLAN
