Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Orinoco 11b Client PC Card can be used anywhere to connect to 802.11b Wi-Fi networks. The card provides 11 Mbps operation in the 2.4 GHz license-free frequency band. With superior radio performance and resilience to radio interference, Orinoco has been proven to give the best 802.11b range and throughput in the industry. The card also supports 802.11d global roaming to simplify connecting at facilities world-wide.

The 8420-WD card is equipped with a choice of security levels to protect your data: user selectable 64- and 128-bit WEP keys. The 8420-WD supports Orinoco's WEP+ weak key Initialization Vector suppression technology to make the cards more robust against security attacks.

The 8420-WD (gold version) is furnished with a streamlined form factor and short antenna which makes it easier to work in crowded spaces. The Gold version antenna includes a built-in connector for an external Range Extender Antenna which improves performance locations where it is difficult to "see" an Access Point.
