Radio band selectable to avoid
wireless congestion!
The Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N ExpressCard is the simple way to add or upgrade
wireless connectivity in your notebook computer. Just slide it into your computer's
ExpressCard slot and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access while retaining
true mobility.
The Dual-Band Wireless-N ExpressCard uses the very latest wireless networking
technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios for each
band, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective
data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal
reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead
spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless
connections much farther than standard Wireless-G.
With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works
great with standard Wireless-G, -A, and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless
link are Wireless-N, the throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much
radio band, yielding speeds far faster than standard Wireless-G.
Dual-band wireless networks operate in both the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz radio bands at the
same time, effectively doubling the available wireless bandwidth. For instance, you could
set up your network to handle video streaming on one radio band, and use the other
band for simultaneous data transfers—avoiding any interference or collisions that would
degrade the video performance. The Dual-Band Wireless-N ExpressCard allows you to
connect using whichever band works the best for your situation.
To help protect your data and privacy, your wireless connection is protected by industrial-
strength WPA2 encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring
the ExpressCard to your network's settings, step by step.
The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for media-centric applications like
streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom
to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no
degradation in performance. Get your notebook connected to either band of Wireless-N,
and also Wireless-G, Wireless-A, and Wireless-B networks with the Ultra RangePlus
Dual-Band Wireless-N ExpressCard from Linksys.
