The
World's First 3-in-1 Wireless PCI Card
Introduction >>

The ASUS B&W PCI Card is designed to be fully compliant
with both the IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11a wireless local
area network (Wireless LAN) standards as well as Bluetooth
for interconnecting personal devices.
 |
As a result of the completion of the
standard, the interoperability of Wireless LAN products
among multiple manufacturers will be guaranteed. |
 |
The ASUS B&W PCI Card can auto-switch between
802.11b and 802.11a networks, while maintaining
Bluetooth connectivity. |
 |
The ASUS B&W PCI Card supports data rates
up to 11Mbps, with automatic fallback to 5.5,2,
and 1Mbps in 802.11b networks, and also supports
data rates up to 54Mbps (up to 108Mbps in Turbo
Mode), with automatic fallback to 48, 36, 24, 12,
9Mbps in 802.11a networks. |
