A smart card can store vital information, such as security keys and personal network configuration profiles that make user authentication reliable and moving between networks easy. The smart card reader also provides a platform for company-tailored smart card applications, such as securing personal laptop data and storing e-cash. The Nokia C111 communicates with the wired networks via radio access points and also supports ad hoc networking between laptops.

The radio traffic between the wireless LAN cards and access points can be secured by the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol. WEP uses up to 128-bit encryption and shared key authentication to secure radio traffic, offering a security level comparable to wired networks. The WEP protocol and smart card make user authentication and authorization reliable and secure, thereby protecting the network from unauthorized intruders.

The card is compatible with any device with a type II or type III PC card slot, and it supports most common operating systems and network applications.
