Summit brings dual-band Wi-Fi to business- critical clients

摘要

Summit Data Communications, a provider of Wi-Fi radio modules and cards, announced general availability of the first dual-band Wi-Fi radios certified for Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) Version 4 on Windows CE. The Summit SDC-CF10AG compact flash radio module and SDC-PC10AG PCMCIA radio module enable mobile computers, medical devices, and other business-critical mobile devices to exploit the little-used 5GHz frequency band for more-reliable connectivity and better performance. Excitement over 802.11n, the forthcoming IEEE standard for high-throughput Wi-Fi that operates in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, is renewing interest in Wi-Fi operation at 5GHz. Deploying 802.11 n in a Wi-Fi infrastructure improves range and connection reliability for all clients, including those that use pre-N standards. By supporting 802.11a, 802.11 b, and 802.11g, the Summit CF1 OAG and PC1 OAG enable businesses to exploit the range and reliability benefits of 802.11 n and migrate devices to 5GHz to avoid the growing interference in the 2.4GHz band.
