Wireless Internet connectivity is what most, if not all of today's portable computer devices are equipped with, as a standard option. The most used standards for wireless network connectivity for notebooks are the IEEE 802.11 b/g which can ensure a data transfer rate of 54 Mbps. While this is enough for a decent browsing and file transfer it fails short for audio and video streaming applications. That is why the 802.11 n Draft standard is increasingly present in the case of the latest product releases.



One such product is offered by the SMC Networks company, an important name in the industry, which enables notebook users the use of the new n Draft technology. Featured in a cardbus adapter form, the SMC EZ Connect N Pro Draft 11n can be easily connected to any compatible notebook, offering its user a better wireless connection. The SMCWCB-N wireless cardbus adapter is compliant with the next generation IEEE 802.11n Draft technology, while keeping a backwards compatibility with earlier IEEE 802.11 b/g standards.



The n Draft standard offers improved bandwidth and range by using a MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) technology. This way your notebook computer can reach wireless speeds up to 300Mbps having a 11x better coverage. The new standard can provide enough bandwidth to stream HD video, listen to digital music, play online games, transfer large files, make VoIP calls and surf the Internet , all at the same time. All you need to do in order to enjoy these things is to plug the SMCWCB-N in any available PCMCIA slot, in your notebook.



The SMC SMCWCB-N provides some important security features, which can protect the user by establishing a secure network connection. The card uses an industry-standard WEP 64-Bit and 128-Bit wireless encryption. Easy installation features include a EZ installation Wizard which will guide the used through the required setup steps.



The card is available for purchasing online for an approximate price tag of $65.
