The RoamAbout 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.
RoamAbout family of products allows you to quickly, easily, and economically establish a wireless data LAN network, offering users dependable, Ethernet-like performance while utilizing the full 2.4-GHz band. The RoamAbout family is made up of two components: the 2.4-GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) wireless High-Rate PC Card Ethernet adapter, and a full-functioning switched Access Point which quickly and easily connects to your wired LAN via Unshielded Twisted Pair.
