INTRODUCTION
Overview
Now you can access enterprise and public Wi-Fi
(IEEE 802.11b) Wireless LAN systems from your
Pocket PC 2003 using the smallest and lightest form
factor available with Socket’s SDIO Low Power
Wireless LAN Card. All you need is a Pocket PC
2003 with a SDIO slot running SDIO Now!, and you
can use the card to access the Internet, email, and
corporate servers.
The Socket SDIO Low Power Wireless LAN Card uses Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology operating at 2.4 -2.5 GHz. Data rates
up to 11 Mbps are supported, providing the speed needed for quick data
downloading. The card works in environments that are open or have 40/64-
bit or 128-bit encryption enabled. The card also supports 802.1x
authentication using either Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport
Level Security (EAP-TLS) or Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol
(PEAP) for use in environments where enhanced security is deployed.
The Low Power Wireless LAN Card can be used in two operating modes.
In Infrastructure mode (default), the adapter transmits and receives data
with an associated access point (AP) or an infrastructure of networked APs.
Ad Hoc mode lets you create one-to-one or one-to-many peer-to-peer
networks without APs, connecting directly with other 802.11b cards.
