The Linksys wireless PC card now has a new higher-powered antenna that provides greater ranges than ever. The increased sensitivity helps filter out interference and "noise" to keep your signal clear. Improved error correction in the chipset keeps you operating at higher transmission rates for longer distances. And, since you only need one Type II or III PCMCIA CardBus slot, you're free to use your other slots for additional accessories.
Ready to run in Type II or III PCMCIA CardBus-equipped notebook PCs running Windows 98, 2000, Me, and XP, the Linksys network PC card is truly a must-have for all notebook PC users.
Using the 802.11a networking standard, the Linksys wireless PC card can reach maximum data transfer rates of 72 Mbps (turbo mode), when used with the Linksys WAP54A Wireless 802.11a access point, and up to 54 Mbps when used in a peer-to-peer network or with other 802.11a products. The WPC54A features 152-bit WEP encryption, for higher security than 802.11b products.
Note that 802.11a wireless products do not function with 802.11b wireless products.
