As an industry leader, D-Link is introducing the next generation of wireless products with its high-performance D-Link AirPro series of 5GHz networking technology.
At 54 Mega bits per second (Mbps), the D-Link AirPro 5GHz DWL-A520 highspeed wireless PCI adapter delivers unsurpassed wireless performance. With IEEE 802.11a standard compliance, the D-Link AirPro DWL-A520 highspeed wireless adapter is designed for indoor use and provides excellent network scalability.

A proprietary "Turbo" mode feature allows the D-Link DWL-A520 to operate at significantly greater bandwidth data rates up to 72 Mbps. Eight non-overlapping channels create less interference, which delivers higher average cell throughput. The D-Link AirPro DWL-A520 employs enhanced 152-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) network security to protect data from unauthorized access.

D-Link AirPro DWL-A520 is easily installed inside a PC to provide connectivity directly to another wirelessly enabled device (ad-hoc mode) or through an 802.11a based access point (infrastructure mode). It also features an easy to use diagnostics utility software program called LinkMon, which helps users easily identify and troubleshoot signal strength within the wireless network.
