Introduction; Features; Specifications - Hawking HWPG1 User Manual

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Hawking Technologies Wireless 802.11g PCI card. This card complies
with the IEEE 802.11g standard, which capable of supporting up to 108Mbps high-speed wireless
networking. It is also backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11b devices. The HWPG1 is a quality high
performance wireless product and has been tested to outperform the competition.
For wireless security issues, this card supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your
wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security
standard that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client
users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the
network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. This card also has built-in an
AES engine which ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is
the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for security in wireless networks.
The power consumption of the card is also very low. Furthermore, this card provides several levels of
power saving modes allowing the user to optimize the battery life of their notebooks.
