Congratulations
Congratulations on your purchase of SanDisk’s low power Wireless LAN
(Local Area Network) Card. The Wireless LAN Card makes it possible for
PDA’s and laptop computers to establish a high-speed wireless Internet
connection to remote network information by the use of access points. The
access points of a wireless network are connected to a host computer with
Network or Internet Access.
Installing the SanDisk Wireless LAN card in your PDA or laptop computer
gives you the freedom to browse the web, check email, or transfer files and
information to or from remote network information without being physically
connected.
Access Point Locations
Access points can be located in office buildings, home offices, hospitals,
universities, hotels, airports, conference centers and coffee shops. Other
unique environments where access points might be set up so that mobile
workers can access network information include:
Buildings where wiring is difficult to install
Evolving workplace situations like manufacturing areas or retail stores
Trade shows, exhibition and construction sites that require a
temporary network
Businesses that require additional network access during peak periods
or need a quick installation of a small computer network
