The D-Link AirPro DWL-AB650 is a powerful dualband wireless LAN adapter for notebook PCs. This 32-bit PC Card connects you to networks operating on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequency bands, giving you flexible access to both 802.11a and 801.22b types of networks. Transmission speeds are up to 11Mbps for 802.11b, and 54Mbps for 802.11a. With industry standard interoperability, strong data encryption security and flexible frequency band support, this adapter gives you the true mobility and fast, secure connection to wireless networks.

Dual-band Wireless Access: The DWL-AB650 connects you to wireless Access Points, Internet gateways, servers, wireless users and peripherals no matter if they operate on 5GHz or 2.4GHz frequency band. Communication with 802.11a and 802.11b networks is transparent, with transmission and reception dynamically matching the available speed of the connecting node. The adapter strictly complies with IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b standards and interoperates with all 802.11a and 802.11b compliant devices.

Flexible High-speed Connection: In a predominantly 802.11b environment, the DWL-AB650's dualband capability allows you to plan for future network growth to immediately tap into 802.11a resources when available wireless channels become available. The additional high-bandwidth channels available with 802.11a also offer you a robust way to transmit large data files much quicker than possible with 802.11b.

Network Security: Your data transmitted and received in the air is well protected by a security scheme. The DWL-AB650 provides 64/128/152-bit industry-standard WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) data encryption. Data privacy mechanism is based on a shared key algorithm, as described in the wireless LAN standard. In addition, AES enhanced security and 802.1x for user authentication provide a much more formidable barrier to hackers and sniffers, allowing you to securely share data over the network.
