ZoomAir 4100 - network adapter

ZoomAir Wireless Networking products bring affordable, high-quality, upgradeable, industry standards-based wireless technology to business and institutional users. ZoomAir hardware and software facilitate the wireless expansion of existing Ethernet LANs (Local Area Networks) and even the construction of modestly sized all-wireless networks. ZoomAir Wireless Network technology is ideal for small to medium-sized offices where a wireless network may be economically and logistically preferable to a wired LAN. Large offices with a wired network already in place can also benefit from the flexible network expansion opportunities offered by ZoomAir. Installation possibilities include schools, conference rooms, hospitals, retail outlets, construction sites, production lines, and warehouses. ZoomAir Wireless Networking hardware products are fully compliant with the adopted IEEE 802.11b (DSSS) worldwide standard. This means ZoomAir wireless network cards are interoperable with standards-compliant devices from other sources, integrate seamlessly into existing wired networks, and are compatible with other high-speed, IEEE 802.11b (DSSS) devices. ZoomAir wireless network cards transmit and receive data at up to 11 Mbps on the 2.4 GigaHertz (GHz) frequency band using the latest DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology. In a typical business environment, ZoomAir Wireless Network cards will transmit and receive data reliably up to 300 feet (90 meters). In an unobstructed outdoor setting the typical range increases to approximately 1000 feet (300 meters). The ZoomAir Wireless Networking provides dense, multi-layered data security. The DSSS data signals are extremely resistant to noise, interference, jamming and unauthorized monitoring. In addition, all users must identify themselves with the same system ID. Users with particularly sensitive data can enable the built-in Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) feature, which further encrypts the signal and requires an identical security key at both ends of the transmission. In short, as compared with an Ethernet LAN, ZoomAir Wireless Networking data security is in no way compromised.
