KEY FEATURES

Extend LAN connectivity without costly wiring

Deploy instant networks at any location

Intel® PRO/Wireless LAN

Networks as mobile as the people who use them

serve as the basis for an entirely new network infrastructure, in which

devices are instantly deployed or reconfigured without the costs and concerns of pulling wires throughout a building. Intel PRO/Wireless LAN Adapters also let you create ad hoc networks sharing information in secure peer-to-peer sessions, away from the office, allowing communication with only the people you authorize.

Intel is the worldwide leader in Fast Ethernet, client-networking connections1, and also co-inventor of the Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet standards, so it shouldn’t be surprising that Intel is now providing the best Wireless Ethernet solutions. Intel’s products boast the Wi-Fi seal of approval in which a third party has confirmed their compliance to the IEEE 802.11b High Rate specifications, protecting your investment in infrastructure and assuring you of cross-vendor interoperability.

Multi-Point Bridging

Profile:

A health care facility is expanding and needs to equip an entire campus with wireless technology.

Challenge:

Doctors, staff, and administrative personnel need seamless network coverage as they roam from private offices to hospitals and other locations on campus. Buildings may be up to one mile apart, or several miles.

Solution:

Equipping buildings with Intel® PRO/Wireless LANs throughout the campus enables seamless coverage. Omni-directional and yagi antennae installed outside buildings facilitate campus-wide coverage from buildings equipped with wired LANs, to those with no wired LAN capability.

Result:

Tying buildings together wirelessly eliminates 1.5Mbps T1 communication costs and provides high data rate transmission. Doctors, nurses, and administration staff can move throughout the entire facility and be ensured of seamless network access via notebooks and handheld PCs.

Public Hot Spot

Challenge:

The ability to work while on the road or away from the office or school is becoming more important to today’s mobile user. To ensure productivity, maintain competitiveness and generally get work done, these individuals need Internet access at offsite locations.

Solution:

Public hot spots, such as airports and coffee shops, are offering Internet access to visitors. These sites obtain one high-bandwidth line to the Internet either via a cable modem, DSL or T1 connection; install an Access Point, and voila! They can share this Internet access with visitors.

Result:

Business travelers will be more productive. Coffee shops will enjoy increased business as mobile users seek out wireless-enabled cafes.

Repeating Floor

Challenge:

A mid-sized company is expanding to a second floor within the complex and needs to provide network connectivity to users who will inhabit the new space. However, this new space is difficult and expensive to wire.

Solution:

Intel’s PRO/Wireless LAN allows organizations to extend their wired network to a non-wired area. Installing Access Points in both the wired and non-wired areas allows instant network connectivity to users. An Access Point connected to the network on the first floor, will “repeat” information to the Access Point on the second floor, acting as a conduit to the network.

Result:

Complete, continuous network coverage for the entire organization without the cost of new wiring.

Seamless Roaming

Profile

A major food products company is growing, and its personnel are constantly on the move – from meetings to the R&D lab to the office, and so on. The network is constantly evolving, as new people are coming aboard and moving about with laptops and other network devices. But the job of the IT administrator is still the same: deliver reliable, secure, managed network access.

The Challenge

Enable mobile workers to stay connected no matter where they need to work

Allow for network growth without constantly revising (and rewiring) the infrastructure

Give workers the best possible network connection at all times

Protect sensitive data across the LAN

The Solution

Laptop, desktop, and handheld PCs equipped with Intel PRO/Wireless LAN Adapters

Intel® PRO/Wireless LAN Access Points strategically placed throughout the network environment

Access Points are connected to the network backbone and can be easily installed and managed remotely from a central location

Robust encryption features protect sensitive data traveling across the wireless segment of the LAN

The Result

Network infrastructure issues are vastly simplified for a company experiencing rapid growth and change. Network users enjoy newfound flexibility with reliable, Ethernet-speed connectivity wherever their work takes them. And, the wireless segment of the LAN can still be secure and managed by IT administrators from a central location.

Change floors without losing your connection.
