Intoduction

Attention Notebook PC Users: Put the “mobile” back into mobile computing! Whether you’re at your desk or in the boardroom, the Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card allows you to share printers, files, and other resources anywhere within your LAN infrastructure, increasing your productivity and keeping you “in touch.”

The Instant Wireless Network PC Card now has a new higher powered antenna that provides greater ranges 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 Type II or III PCMCIA slot, you’re free to use your other slots for additional accessories.
