Getting familiar with the airBridge Wireless Ethernet Client

airBridge conforms to the IEEE standard 802.11b and operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It has data rate of up to 11Mbps, which makes it one of the fastest Wireless Adapters on the market today. airBridge can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (providing Peer-to-Peer network connection without Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (providing network connection using Access Point). It can communicate with any Wi-Fi compliant Wireless Access Point, Wireless Client Adapter and Residential Gateway.

airBridge is capable of 64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption to provide secure network connection. It allows secure sharing of data, DVD/CD-ROM drives, Zip drives, printers and high-speed Internet access over the Wireless Network. The powerful built-in antenna ensures strong and consistent signals over a long range and seamless transition from one Access Point to another while roaming around.
