3Com® Wireless 11n PCI Adapter KEY BENEFITS (CONTINUED) HIGH PERFORMANCE AND RELIABLE Computer users can access network resources, the Internet and email at .11n speeds, ideal for multimedia applications, fast audio streaming, VoIP and speedier transfer of large graphics files. A host of features including MIMO technology ensure reliable wireless connections and exceptional speed. Wi-Fi® certification helps ensure interoperability with other draft .11n certified vendors. FEATURES Compatibility Standards support Backwards compatible Wi-Fi certification Security IEEE 802.1X network access control WPA2/WPA and AES Performance High speed MIMO technology Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Ease of Use 3Com Wireless Utility Three detachable antennas Includes full- and half-height PCI brackets Description Provides complete access to 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n draft 2.0 wireless networks. Compatible with existing 802.11b and 802.11g networks. Helps ensure interoperability with Wi-Fi compatible products from other vendors. IEEE 802.1X network access control and EAP authentication support the latest, most effective authentication techniques to thwart intruders and simplify network management. Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption help keep wireless transmissions private; 128-bit WEP encryption is supported for legacy networks. Support for 802.11n draft 2.0 provides the highest possible wireless speeds of up to 300† Mbps. Multiple antennas and advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology provide enhanced wireless range. Adds managed QoS (Quality of Service) levels for data, voice and video. WMM-based on the 802.11e standard-is critical for today's generation of delay-sensitive applications like voice. Creates profiles for each wireless network's specific settings-just click the proper profile to match the desired wireless network. Also provides connection status and features simple-to-use diagnostic tools. Additional antennas help assure access to the wireless signal, providing enhanced and increased wireless coverage; detachable antennas provide installation flexibility. Easily adapts to fit computers with different bracket requirements. † Wireless performance depends on number of users, physical and environmental conditions and other electronic devices in the area.
