WLAN Transmission Technology - 108M Super G WLAN
108M Super G
Transmission Technology employs multiple performance-enhancing techniques
including packet bursting, fast frames, data compression, and dynamic turbo mode
that combine to improve the throughput and range of wireless networking products.
Users can experience link rates of up to 108Mbps, twice the industry-standard
maximum data link rate of 54Mbps, while preserving full compatibility with traditional
TM
802.11g or 802.11b networks. 108M Super G products offer the highest throughput
performance available on the market today. In dynamic 108M mode, the device can
TM
attach 802.11b, 802.11g and 108Mbps Super G devices at the same time in an
integrated environment.
TM
WLAN Transmission Technology - The WLAN device
2x to 3x eXtended Range
TM
with 2x to 3x eXtended Range WLAN transmission technology make its sensitivity
up to 105 dB, which gives users the ability to have robust, longer-range wireless
TM
connections. With this range-enhancing technology, a 2x to 3x eXtended Range
based client and access point can maintain a connection at as much as three times
the transmission distance of traditional 802.11b and 802.11g products, for a coverage
area that is up to nine times greater. A traditional 802.11b and 802.11g product
TM
transmission distance is about 300m, A 2x to 3x eXtended Range based client and
access point can maintain a connection transmission distance may be up to 830m.
802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using
direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b
networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b
devices, and WEP encryption for security.
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host
and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically
configure the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PCs that are connected to a DHCP
server.
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed
to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or
videoconferencing.
DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of
websites into IP addresses.
