D-Link DCF 660W

D-Link DCF 660W ... LAN CompactFlash card offers all the benefits of a traditional wired Ethernet network, plus the advantage of being wireless. This card lets you stay connected while you're moving around with your PDA to work, send/view e-mail and access server data, all without the need to hook up to any network wires. Complying with IEEE 802.11b industry standard, the DCF-660W operates at the 2.4GHz frequency range and interoperates with all IEEE 802.11b equipment. Ethernet-based network access from your PDA is also possible through IEEE 802.11b Access Points.

Designed as a Type I CompactFlash, the DCF-660W plugs into any pocket or handheld PC equipped with a Type I slim expansion slot, or a Type II expansion slot. Security is an issue when data is transmitted without the wires. In the air, transmitted data can be easily intercepted if not well protected by a security scheme. The DCF-660W provides the necessary security, using the industry-standard 64/128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption protocol. Data privacy mechanism is based on a shared key algorithm, as described in the wireless LAN standards.

The DCF-660W has been tested to operate with Compaq iPAQ 36xx/37xx/38xx series (CPU: Strong ARM), Casio E125, E200, BE300, BE500 (MIPS R4000), HP Jornada 535, 540, 548 (CPU: SH3), 565 (Strong ARM SA1110), Sharp Telios (MIPS R3000), HP Jornada 720 (Strong ARM).
