WL-3563   
 
   [Overview].
 
802.11g Wireless PCMCIA Card
 
 
The WL-3563 is an IEEE 802.11g Wireless PCMCIA card that can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (Point
to Point/Point to Multipoint without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (Point to Point/Point to
Multipoint with an Access Point).IEEE 802.11g uses 2.4GHz frequency band that is the same with IEEE
802.11b, but provides high-speed transfer rate up to 54Mbps that is almost 5 times throughput rate than
802.11b. WL-3563 is backward compatible as well and interoperable with IEEE 802.11b compliant
wireless devices. This dual-standard support enhances much more flexibility of deployment and use.

The WL-3563 supports both 64/128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) for securing wireless network
connections. The driver and utility support most popular operating systems: Windows
98SE/Me/2000/XP/Server 2003. With advanced features and high performance capability, the WL-3563
is an excellent choice for constructing a wide range of wireless solutions.
 
   [Product Application]
WL-3563 offers a fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for wireless client access to the applications of network as follows:
 
Remote access to corporate network information
E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation.
 
Difficult-to-wire environments
Historical or old buildings, asbestos installations, and open areas where wiring is difficult to be employed
 
Frequently changing environments
Retailers, manufacturers and banks that frequently rearrange the workplace and change locations.
 
Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time
Trade shows, sports events, exhibitions and construction sites that are required temporary setup for a
short period. Retailers, airline and shipping companies need additional workstations for a peak period.
Auditors who organize workgroups at customer sites.
 
SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) users
SOHO users who require quick and easy installation of a small computer network.
