Adherent to the IEEE 802.11g standard, the PLANET WL-U356 provides
simple, reliable, high-speed wireless connections for both desktop
and laptop users. By combining with two, state-of-the-art technologies-USB
2.0 and 802.11g-the gadget delivers data at speed up to 54Mbps,
five times the speed of existing 802.11b devices, and spares the
efforts of opening up the case of your desktop computer.
WL-U356 contains an internal patch antenna. It takes advantage
of the flexibility and convenience of USB connections without sacrificing
performance. Support of 64, 128 and 256-bit WEP encryption plus
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) high-level encryption keep your wireless
communications from unauthorized access and ensure secure data transfer.
WL-U356 supports software AP function, which can turn the USB adapter
into a compact Access Point. The USB adapter is also backward compatible
with 802.11b products, so both 11b and 11g clients can reside on
the same network. Easy installation and hot-plugging offers full
mobility and high availability, making the device a perfect choice
for users who are getting tired of running cables or in constant
need of wireless access.

Product Applications
|
|
Infrastructure
For some environments with limitations on running
Ethernet cables around, simply install the WL-U356 on your
desktop or laptop, and users thus can get connected to the
wired Ethernet through a wireless access point to access the
network resources within the coverage of wireless signals.
The installation of multiple access points to enlarge the
coverage of wireless signals and can ensure seamless network
access for mobile users.

|
|
Ad-Hoc
Need connecting several desktop PC or notebooks
wirelessly? Configuring all the wireless adapters to Ad-Hoc
mode without wireless access point is the easiest and costly
way to meet this application.
|
 |
|
Software AP
This feature converts the WL-U356 into a compact
wireless access point immediately, and this can create an
instant wireless network, which spares the additional costs
of purchasing a wireless access point.
