54g , the most advanced wireless networking technology available, is
incorporated into your notebook. Also known as 802.11g, this
up-and-coming wireless networking standard is up to 5 times faster than
the widely used, older standard, 802.11b. Instead of communicating at
a maximum speed of 11 megabits per second (Mbps), your notebook,
equipped with 802.11g, can communicate at speeds up to 54 Mbps!
Because 802.11g is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 802.11b networks,
you will be able to access networks that have not yet upgraded to the
new standard.
