D-Link Air Xpert DWL-AG530 - network adapter - PCI

Key Features and Benefits: Easiest way to expand If you're a network administrator, the versatile 802.11a/g compatible DWL-AG530 card gives you an immediate way to expand your existing 802.11b network and protect your overall wireless network investment. By installing DWLAG530 network cards in desktops throughout your organization, your employees can access wireless Access Points and routers from their desktop PCs. And as your company expands or reorganizes, you won't have to keep pulling and plugging Ethernet cables because no matter where the workstation is relocated, it's still connected to the network. End-to-end wireless solution When you add an 802.11a/g access point (D-Link AirPremierAG DWL-7100AP) or router (D-Link AirPremierAG DI-784) to your wireless network, you will have an end-to-end wireless solution capable of handling up to 15 times the user load of your current 802.11b network. 108Mbps SuperG High Speed In addition to its compatibility with earlier 802.11bnetworks, the DWL-AG530 offers the robust speed, up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode), of the newer 802.11g standard, so everyone can work faster and more efficiently. In addition to the 2.4GHz frequency band operated by 802.11b and g, the 54Mbps 5GHz band used by 802.11a also offers a way to quickly transfer data in a frequency range that does not experience interference or interruptions from cordless phones, microwave ovens and other devices utilizing the 2.4GHz frequency. Enhanced security Wi-Fi Protected Access in the DWL-AG530 provides the necessary security protocols and tools, so employees can communicate with colleagues confidentially, access sensitive company information or send data that is dynamically encrypted as it's sent. Wi-Fi Protected Access lets you authorize and identify users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval. Used in conjunction with a RADIUS server, WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security, which requires the keys to be changed manually. 802.1x Authentication The DWL-AG530 supports 802.1x authentication for protection against network intrusion. Used in conjunction with a RADIUS server, this function provides a means to verify the identity of the client before an access to the network is granted. Pre-Shared Key This function brings a lot of convenience (when used in conjunction with other 802.11g products) for users that do not incorporate a RADIUS server in their networks. Utilizing the Pre-Shared Key mode of WPA, the DWL-AG530 will obtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11g network. You only need to input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. With the DWLAG530, you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, doing away with the inconvenience of manual WEP key input.
