Nokia's wireless LAN cards enable you to wirelessly connect compatible
laptop computers, hand-held devices, desktop PCs, and other devices with a
type II or III PC card slot to a wired local area network through an access
point. Instead of cables, radio waves are used to transmit and receive data
over the air. With the Nokia C110/C111 you can:
• set up an infrastructure network where wireless stations communicate with
wired and wireless stations through an access point. You can wirelessly
access your company database, e-mail, the Internet, and other network
resources, for example.
• set up an ad hoc network where wireless stations send and receive data
directly with each other. No access point is needed, and as long as the
stations are within range, you can, for example, share and exchange files.
The Nokia C110/C111 comes with an integrated smart card reader. Vital
information, such as security keys and personal network profiles that make
moving between networks easy, can be stored on a smart card.
The wireless LAN cards described in this document are approved for use in a
wireless local area network.
The wireless LAN card employs the data transmission capabilities of a
wireless LAN in order to send and receive data, to browse the Internet, and to
establish connections with other computers, for example.
