Introduction 
 
With the 108Mbps SuperG Wireless Access Point, bandwidth-intensive applications 
like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move 
across the network more quickly. 
 
The  108Mbps SuperG Wireless Access Point is capable of operating in one of 5 
different modes to meet your wireless networking needs. The SuperG Access Point can 
operate as an access point,  access point-to-access point bridging mode,  access 
point-to-multipoint bridging mode
access point client mode, or as a repeater
 
The 108Mbps SuperG Wireless Access Point is an ideal solution for quickly creating 
and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in offices or other workplaces, trade 
shows, and special events. Unlike most access points, the SuperG Access Point 
provides data transfers at up to 108 Mbps in SuperG mode when used with other 
108Mbps Wireless SuperG  products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible 
with 802.11b devices. 
 
The  108Mbps SuperG Wireless Access Point has the newest, strongest, most 
advanced security features available today. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) authorizes 
and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at regular intervals. 
WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 
10,000 packets. This ensures greater security than the standard WEP security. (By 
contrast, the previous WEP encryption implementation required the keys to be changed 
manually.)
