RoamAbout PCMCIA Card ( 802.11b )

The RoamAbout 802.11b PC Card allows you to easily stay connected to your wireless LAN. An IEEE 802.11 Direct Sequence compliant wireless network interface card, the RoamAbout PC Card functions like any standard wired Ethernet card, but uses radio frequencies instead of a cable for the LAN connection. Should there be multiple Access Points in the same wireless network, you can move from location to location with no interruption in connectivity. The RoamAbout PC Card remains connected to the network by seamlessly switching to a different Access Point as you roam throughout the network. The RoamAbout High-Rate PC Card fits into any type II PC card slot, and can be installed in computers without this slot using the optional RoamAbout ISA Adapter Card, PCI Adapter Card or Ethernet Adapter

RoamAbout PCI Adapter Card

Facilitates installation into computers that do not have a PC card slot but do have an available PCI bus slot. This carrier supports both 16 bit 802.11b PC Cards and 32 bit 802.11a/b/g MultiMode Cardbus Cards.

802.11b Wireless Ethernet Adapter

Ideally suited to environments where wireless connectivity is needed for non-PC Card-enabled devices, the high-speed RoamAbout Wireless Ethernet Adapter converts any Ethernet-equipped workstation or deviceÑ including printers, PCs and X-terminalsÑinto a wireless LAN station. And, because it's transparent to workstation hardware and software and no software drivers need to be loaded, plug-and-play installation is assured
