Introduction
The Nokia C110 Wireless LAN Card and the Nokia C111 Wireless LAN Card are
extended type II PC cards, offering a data transmission rate of up to 11 Mbit/s in a
wireless local area network (LAN) environment. The Nokia C110 features two
internal antennas for compact size. The Nokia C111 is equipped with internal
antennas and two external antenna connectors.
The Nokia C110/C111 Wireless LAN Card:
• Complies with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
• Supports data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbit/s.
• Operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz using direct sequence spread spectrum
(DSSS) radio technology.
• Supports the Windows® 95, Windows® 98, Windows® Me, Windows® 2000,
and Windows NT® 4.0 operating systems. For other supported operating
systems, please check the Nokia Web site at www.forum.nokia.com.
Nokia’s wireless LAN cards enable you to wirelessly connect compatible laptop
computers, hand-held devices, desktop PCs, and other devices with a type II or III
PC card slot to a wired local area network through an access point. Instead of
cables, radio waves are used to transmit and receive data over the air. With the
Nokia C110/C111 you can:
• set up an infrastructure network where wireless stations communicate with wired
and wireless stations through an access point. You can wirelessly access your
company database, e-mail, the Internet, and other network resources, for example.
• set up an ad hoc network where wireless stations send and receive data directly
with each other. No access point is needed, and as long as the stations are within
range, you can, for example, share and exchange files.
The Nokia C110/C111 comes with an integrated smart card reader. Vital
information, such as security keys and personal network profiles that make
moving between networks easy, can be stored on a smart card.
Wireless LAN
The wireless LAN cards described in this document are approved for use in a
wireless local area network.
The wireless LAN card employs the data transmission capabilities of a wireless
LAN in order to send and receive data, to browse the Internet, and to establish
connections with other computers, for example.
