The WL-8310 is an IEEE 802.11g Wireless PCI card that can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (Point to Point/Point to Multipoint without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (Point to Point/Point to Multipoint with an Access Point). IEEE 802.11g uses 2.4GHz frequency band, the same as IEEE 802.11b; but it provides almost 5 times throughput rate than 802.11b. With the latest innovative Super G technology integrated, the maximum data rate of WL-8310 is 108Mbps, which doubles the speed of standard 802.11g. WL-8310 is also backward compatible and interoperable with IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless devices. This dual-standard support allows for greater flexibility of deployment and use.

The WL-8310 is provided with a detachable dipole antenna that can be replaced with optional external antennas to obtain better signal quality and greater connection distances.

The WL-8310 supports both 64/128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) for securing wireless network connections. The driver and utility supports most popular operating systems: Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Server 2003. With advanced features and high performance capability, the WL-8310 is an excellent choice for constructing a wide range of wireless solutions.
