The SMC2632W is an IEEE 802.11b - compliant 11 Mbps
wireless PC card. It meets the needs of small business
and corporate users who require an 11 Mbps wireless
connection to an existing LAN. This new adapter fea-
tures an operating range of up to 1,155 feet, an ad-hoc
mode for peer-to-peer networking, and true plug-and-
play installation in all notebook computers.
Great for mobile users, temporary work sites, and a
range of other applications, wireless technology pro-
vides optimal mobility, simple and flexible installation
options and excellent scalability in supporting addi-
tional PCs. The technology is also ideal for use with
cable modems, xDSL, or SOHO applications.

11 Mbps Wireless PC Card

Model
In the typical wireless configuration, an Access Point
(SMC2655W) connects to a wired network. Each
Access Point supports up to 64 users, with a maximum
range of 1,800 feet. Users access the LAN via SMC wire-
less adapters in their notebooks or desktops. The wire-
less LAN adapters interface between the client
Network Operating System and the Access Point. In a
peer-to-peer configuration, one wireless card is needed
for each computer, but no Access Point is required.
Benefits
• Instant access to shared information
without the need to plug in
• Network managers can set up, move, or
expand a new LAN with no need for
installation or moving wires
• 11 Mbps performance will meet most
foreseeable networking needs
• Wireless LANs are tremendously conven-
ient, help to enhance productivity, and
provide a real cost benefit over traditional
wired networks (no installation or mainten-
nance expenses)
• Plug-and-play; no configuration needed
