Product Description
The SkyLINE Wireless PC Card is a Type II PCMCIA card that works in both Macintosh PowerBooks and PC notebooks with a PC card slot. SkyLINE offers users connectivity to LAN network resources for access to email, the Internet, file servers, printers and more without wires. A unique Control Panel provides a real-time signal strength meter (Macintosh version), network statistics, as well as dynamic configuration without needing to reboot. In environments, such as schools or businesses with brick, concrete or asbestos making the deployment of structured network wiring difficult if not impossible, Farallon's SkyLINE wireless networking is an ideal solution. SkyLINE is based on the leading IEEE 802.11 2.4 GHz DSSS wireless standard for easy integration into existing IEEE 802.3 wired Ethernet networks and for compatibility with other 802.11 DSSS wireless solutions like Apple's AirPort for iBooks. Through IEEE 802.11 DSSS compatible access points from manufactures such as Apple, Nokia, Lucent, Maxtech, Nortel (formerly Bay Networks) and Zoom, SkyLINE-equipped computers can connect to a wired Ethernet network. SkyLINE users can also create an ad hoc peer-to-peer network between two or more computers for direct file sharing.Notebook models supported: Macintosh PowerBooks 190, 1400, 2400, 3400, 5300, and G3 Series using Mac OS 7.5.5 or later; Windows PC notebooks with a CardBus slot using Windows 95/98 or NT.
