In today’s enterprise world, mobility, flexibility, and security
are the important ingredients for enhancing the productivity
and convenience of wireless networks in corporate 
environments. SMC’s EliteConnect

TM

2.4GHz 802.11b High

Power Wireless PC Card (SMC2531W-B EU) connects with
an existing Ethernet installation so wireless enterprise
laptop users can gain instant network access and
resources from the conference room to the board room.
This new member of the EliteConnect

TM

family of product

line from SMC combines superior performance, range
and reliability.

The new SMC2531W-B EU offers an incredible transmit
power of 100mW, one of the highest in the industry. The
SMC EliteConnect

TM

802.11b High Power Wireless PC Card

provides an operating range up to 3 times greater than
the standard 802.11b wireless clients. Since it has the
ability to significantly decrease indoor multipath 
distortion, users will experience dramatic improvements
in the quality and throughput of their wireless networking.
Equipped with a detachable antenna with two available
MMCX connectors, users can connect an optional high
gain antenna (SMCANT-OM5) to increase the already
superior range of the SMC2531W-B EU.

Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, this new product
can be configured for Ad-hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer) or
Infrastructure mode (communication to the wired 
network via an Access Point).  Since it is based on 802.11b
standard, it is interoperable among different 802.11b
compliant vendors. The included EZ Installation Wizard
enables quick and easy setup.  

The new SMC2531W-B EU provides a high level of security
to enterprises by supporting both 64/128-bit WEP
encryption and the new Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).  It
also supports advanced enterprise level security and
RADIUS authentication through 802.1x, EAP-MD5, EAP-
TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP and LEAP for user authentication
to ensure only authorized users can access the resources
of the wireless network.  Moreover, profile management
software allows the new high power wireless notebook
adapter the ability to save multiple wireless settings 
corresponding to different locations or networks.
Furthermore, the SMC2531W-B EU has a built-in utility
program for scanning all available Wireless Access Points
on the network.  

Combine all of these features including excellent 
performance, range, reliability, ease-of-use and you have
a state-of-the-art, best-of-breed high power wireless
client adapter to seamlessly integrate into a new or 
existing wireless network.
