area network (LAN). A wireless LAN allows your system to use wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology to
transmit and receive data without physically attaching to the network. The Wireless protocols that come with
this product ensure data security and isolation from interference generated by other radio frequencies. This
card also allows you to take full advantage of your computer’s mobility with access to real-time information
and online services anytime and anywhere. In addition, this device eliminates the bother of pulling cable
