The Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+B Notebook Adapter lets your notebook communicate with today's wireless network standard and prepares you for the future. With one PC Card, you can connect with the 2.4GHz, 802.11b wireless networks so prevalent in homes, businesses and public "hotspots" already, and also a growing number of 5GHz, 802.11a networks that are spreading across the country.

It's simple to use. Just pop it into a PC Card slot, and run the included Setup Wizard, which will walk you through the configuration. To keep your communications secure, the PC Card supports up to 152-bit data encryption.

802.11b wireless networks are commonly found in corporate environments and are used in homes for household Internet connectivity without the need for running cables. They're also popping up all over the country in coffee shops, airports, hotels, convention centers, and there public spaces offering "on-the-go" connectivity to mobile users. The 802.11a standard is almost five times faster than 802.11b, and operates in the less crowded 5GHz radio band, but it's not as common yet. It is quickly being deployed wherever higher-speed connectivity s desired.

Join the wireless revolution. With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless notebook Adapter, you'll be ready to connect to either type of wireless network, wherever you go, now and in the future.

Ready to run in Type II or III PCMCIA CardBus-equipped notebook PCs running Windows 98, Millennium, 2000, and XP, the Instant Wireless Network PC Card from Linksys is truly a "must-have" for all notebook PC users.
