DWL-A650

Designed for indoor use, the D-LinkAir Pro DWL-A650 is a powerful notebook PC CardBus adapter that allows users to have mobile access to networks. The DWLA650 has a type II PCMCIA interface to provide a slim line design and maximize efficiency.
As an industry leader, D-Link is introducing the next generation of wireless products with its high-performance D-LinkAir Pro series of 5GHz networking technology.
Designed for indoor use, the D-LinkAir Pro DWL-A650 is a powerful notebook PC CardBus adapter that allows users to have mobile access to networks. It provides roaming capabilities from cell to cell and network to network. The DWLA650 has a type II PCMCIA interface to provide a slim line design and maximize efficiency.

At 54 Megabits per second (Mbps), the D-LinkAir Pro DWL-A650 5GHz highspeed wireless CardBus adapter delivers the fastest standards-based wireless technology in the industry. With IEEE 802.11a standard compliance, the D-LinkAir Pro DWL-A650 high-speed wireless adapter provides excellent network interoperability.

Aproprietary “Turbo” mode allows the D-LinkAir Pro DWL-A650 to operate at significantly greater data rates up to 72Mpbs. Eight non-overlapping channels create less interference, which supplies higher average cell throughput to clients. The D-LinkAir Pro DWL-A650 employs enhanced 152-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Dynamic Key Exchange to protect data from unauthorized access.

The D-LinkAir Pro DWL-A650 is easily installed into a laptop PC to provide connectivity directly to another wireless enabled device (ad-hoc mode) or through an 802.11a based access point (infrastructure mode).
