Chapter 1 Introduction

This Wireless LAN Card is an IEEE 802.11g wireless LAN adapter. 802.11g is the latest in
the series of 802.11 specifications for wireless local area networks (WLANs) and provides
data transfer of up to 54 Mbps. Since 802.11g operates on the same frequency of 2.4 GHz as
802.11b, so it is backwards compatible with existing Wi-Fi devices!
It allows your computer to connect to a wireless network and to share resources, such as files
or printers without being bound to the network wires. Operating in 2.4GHz Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio transmission, the Wireless LAN Card transfers data at speeds
up to 54Mbps. Both Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure mode are supported. For network security
concern, 64/128-bit Wired Equivalent Protection (WEP) algorithm is used. In addition, its
standard compliance ensures that it can communicate with any 802.11b/g networks.
