Intel has announced two new networking products that allow wireless access to the Internet and networks used by businesses.
The company`s wireless devices are the first products resulting from the joint development agreement announced in February between Intel and Symbol Technologies.
Intel`s wireless LAN networking solutions are based on the IEEE`s 802.11b High-Rate industry standard.
The first two products are the Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card and the Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN Access Point. The NIC provides advanced roaming capabilities that enable mobile workers to freely move throughout a building, while maintaining a consistent network or Internet connection through a series of access points. The card transfers data at speeds up to 11Mbps.
The LAN access point functions as a wireless hub, and can be mounted on ceilings, walls or shelves. The hub can be remotely configured and monitored.
The products will be available on 7 August at suggested retail prices of $199 for the PC card and $999 for the hub.
