Augmenting the first ever 54Mbps transmission on the 2.4GHz bandwidth, Gemtek is presenting to the WLAN community another high speed option that is backward compatible to the well accepted 802.11b WLAN technology.

In order to supplement the compatibility between 802.11b and 802.1g, Complementary Code Keying (CCK) is implemented to achieve the common bit transfer rate of 5Mbps. While Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is adopted by 802.11g for the high-speed transfer rate in a 2.4GHz range.

Gemtek's WL-850F fully utilizes the benefits of 802.11g standard draft on the proven compatibility between two transfer modes and the high speed bit transfer that is desirable for multimedia application in Wireless environment. Furthermore, a security rich software provides features such as WEP weak-key avoidance, TKIP, 802.11i, SSN and 802.1x while the hardware itself supported a 64/128 bit WEP engine and CCM and OCB AES.

• Mini-PCI Type III A Interface
• Highspeed connection in 22Mbps Standard
• Backward Compatible in a 802.11b environment
• Low-power consumption to support laptop or other embedded system
• Seamless roaming from cell to cell and between 802.11b to 802.11g
