Key Benefits
Features
Complete 802.11 Standards Support
Universal, high-speed wireless networking
has just been made practical. The 3Com
Wireless 11a/b/g PCI Adapter supports all
three existing IEEE 802.11 networking
standards—11a, 11b, and 11g—so users
can connect to any Wi-Fi wireless
network. All-in-one support enhances the
flexibility of the wireless LAN by
preserving existing equipment investment
and enabling administrators to mix and
match radio bands to meet different
coverage and bandwidth user needs within
the same area.
