OVERVIEW
The MultiPort dramatically enhances the customer experience with a refreshing approach to wireless design, performance, and connectivity - evolving
mobile computing. The Compaq 802.11b MultiPort can be used worldwide on all Evo notebooks and enables the user the freedom to stay connected to
their network wirelessly while roaming in a building, campus or "hot spot" environment. This solution provides the user with the ability to interoperate with
other WLAN products; access point, PC cards, and USB dongles at speeds up to 11Mbps. The antenna and wireless assembly in the MultiPort provides
omni-directional signal strength, which leads to maximum data throughput and range. This solution provides 128 bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encryption security and is WiFi certified.
High performance connectivity with the added freedom to roam around your building, campus, or in public "hot spots"
Maximizes omni-directional signal strength in comparison to PC Cards
Greater data throughput and range
Interface based on industry standard USB technology
Enhance security with 128-bit wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption.
