It supports air transmission rate of 11Mbps and 5.5Mbps, and backward compatible with the older 1Mbps and 2Mbps standards. WavePort-WL11 comes with a built-in antenna, supporting reliable radio transmission of up 200 meters in an open environment. Designed with the minimum operational overhead, WavePort-WL11 is capable of achieving a throughput of 3.8-4.0Mbps. With the use of "chipping code", WavePort-WL11 is able to recover the data in the case of data corruption. In addition, it ensures data security and privacy with the use of a 64-bit or 128-bit (selectable) RC4 private encryption key. This high-speed wireless LAN Card supports two types of wireless LAN architecture, among wireless clients (Ad-Hoc Architecture) and between wireless LAN clients and Access Points (Infrastructure Architecture). To ensure minimum power consumption, WavePort-WL11 is designed with a 3.3V PCMCIA interface, consuming as low as 20mA of current at standby mode. Accessory such as PCI/PCMCIA converter is also available to provide wireless connectivity for desktop computers. WavePort-WL11 is fully Plug-N-Play and supported by the popular operating systems such as Windows 95/98, NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and even Linux operating system.
