Wireless LAN
There has been a defined standard for data transfer via wireless
LAN since 1997: IEEE 802.11. For example, this standard defines
how wireless data transmission should function. Products which
completely comply with this standard are therefore compatible
regardless of manufacturer.
IEEE 802.11g:
This extension contains the IEEE 802-11b standard and is
therefore fully backwards compatible. However, the additional
data transfer rates of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 54 Mbps are new.
Super G ® technology makes even faster connections of up to
108Mbps possible by bundling cables. 802.11g works in the
2.4GHz frequency band.
WPA – Highest level security!
Like WEP, WPA is also a standard for encryption and authorisation.WPA
was developed to rectify the fundamental weaknesses
of WEP encryption. WPA can also be viewed as the safer successor
to WEP.
If your access point or wireless LAN router offers WPA encryption,
you should definitely choose it over WEP. WPA uses the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for encryption. The
fundamental innovation in WPA is the dynamic, i.e. automatically
changing encryption. WEP uses static, i.e. unchanging
encryption codes.
All current Hama wireless LAN devices support secure WPA
encryption to protect your data during wireless data transfer.
For complete compatibility with existing installations, WEP
encryption is also supported.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) uses passwords 64, 128, 152 or
156 bits long. The disadvantage compared with WPA is the use
of the same encryption code at all times.
Lean back and surf in comfort on the couch in your living room
or in your deckchair on the veranda. No problem with Hama
W-LAN products.
Atheros eXtended Range XR TM Technology
The coverage of a W-LAN network often influences the decision
whether to keep a product or return it. The range is critical,
especially in situations where a connection must be made over
multiple storeys. Atheros eXtended Range XR TM Technology
allows you to receive very weak signals.
The normal data rate of up to 108 Mbps is automatically reduced
to 54/48/36/24/18/12/11/9/6/5.5/2/1 the greater the distance
to the remote station.
i
The Atheros eXtended Range XR TM Technology extends this range
with steps of 3/2/1/0.5/0.25 Mbps. This covers a greater radius.
The technology is still fully compatible with standard products.
