Instant Wireless

Series

Chapter 1: Introduction

Put the “mobile” back into mobile computing! Whether you’ re at your desk or

in the boardroom, the Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card allows you to share

printers, files, and other resources anywhere within your L A N infrastructure,

increasing your productivity and keeping you “in touch.”

The Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card now has a new, higher-powered

antenna that provides a greater range than ever. The increased sensitivity helps

filter out interference and “noise” to keep your signal clear. Improved error

correction in the chipset keeps you operating at higher transmission rates for

longer distances. And, since you only need one T ype II or III PCMCIA slot,

you’ re free to use your other slots for additional accessories.

R eady to run in Type I I or III PCMCIA -equipped notebook PCs running

Windows 95, 98, Millennium, NT, 2000, and X P, the Instant Wireless™

Network PC Card ver. 3.0 is truly a “must-have” for all notebook PC users.
