Description
Wireless LAN uses radio frequencies to transmit and receive data between PC's or other network devices without wires or cables. The applications of wireless LAN include independent networks (suitable for small or temporary peer-to-peer configurations) and infrastructure networks, offering fully distributed data connectivity via micro cells and roaming.
The TWL-C11 Wireless LAN PC Card is designed and manufactured by Tellus Group Corporation --- a company with expertise in wireless communication sector. Its performance and reliability exceed the requirements of IEEE 802.11b standard, and its interoperability and plug-and-play features make installation quite easy.

Features
Automatic data rate fallback under noisy environment
Advanced power management for battery saving
Supports a wide range of operating systems
Interoperable with IEEE 802.11b compliant equipment
Supports full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell
Plug-and-play installation and easy client management with utility software
Up to 450m operating range (environment dependent)

Applications
Home networking for device sharing
Frequently changing or hard-to-wire environments
SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) users
Inter-building connection
