3Com’s new 802.11g wireless solution is ideally suited for the small or home office as well as emerging enterprises and wireless "hot spots."
3Com is offering high-speed, plug-and-play wireless devices that are among the first to ship with fully complaint 802.11g standards that increase data rates five-fold than existing 802.11b standards and 256-bit WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption for added protection against unwarranted access to data transmissions.
"By combining the new robust encryption techniques with the industry’s new high-speed, long-range wireless connectivity standards, 3Com is able to offer a competitively priced solution with 54 Mbps data rate and 256-bit security encryption at a distance of over 300 feet from the access point to the PC card," said Robert Winch, 3Com director for OfficeConnect solutions.
