D-Link® DWL-AG530 Wireless PCI Adapter, 802.11a/g, 54Mbps

The D-Link AirPremier DWL-AG530 is a tri-mode, dual-band wireless PCI adapter, giving your desktop PC a versatile way to connect wirelessly to any 1 of 3 types of wireless networks— 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11a. It operates in 2 discrete, noninterfering frequencies: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Whether you're at the office, school, at home or enjoying a cup of coffee at a public hotspot, you have the confidence in knowing you can access any active network.

If you're a network administrator, the versatile 802.11a/b/g-compatible DWL-AG530 gives you an immediate way to expand to your existing wireless network and protect your overall network investment. By installing DWL-AG530s in desktops throughout your organization, your employees can connect to wireless access points or routers from their desktop PCs. And as your company expands or reorganizes, you won't have to keep pulling and plugging Ethernet cable.

With D-Link's enhanced 108AG mode, the DWL-AG530 can achieve wireless speeds up to 108Mbps in a pure D-Link 108AG environment. This provides a bandwidth large enough to handle video/audio streaming and Video on Demand (VoD applications). The additional (802.11a) 5GHz band also offers a way to quickly transfer data in a frequency band that does not experience interference or interruptions.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1x user authentication are both integrated into the DWL-AG530 chipset to offer enhanced security.
