Networking is becoming pervasive and as the connections proliferate, people are demanding simple, immediate and reliable access to information, says Chris Butler, 3Com Business Manager at LAN Design, a member of the MB Technologies Group.
"3Com`s comprehensive approach to wireless networking is addressing broad customer needs and delivering products that are reliable, high-speed, secure and compatible with existing standards," Butler continues.
The 3Com AirConnect 11Mbps wireless solution allows users to connect from anywhere at anytime. "It provides standards-based Ethernet-like performance with 3Com`s security, reliability, and manageability," he explains.
The AirConnect Wireless LAN Access Points work with AirConnect Wireless LAN PC Cards (for mobile users) and PCI Cards (for desktop systems) to provide network access across a corporate campus or enterprise. With AirConnect Wireless LAN solutions, users can send and receive information at speeds up to 11Mbps- over five times faster than existing wireless LANs. Each access point supports up to 63 wireless PC clients and provides 200 feet of wireless coverage in a standard office environment.
