FCC approval of Teletronics' high-power LAN Card.Teletronics International, Inc., a provider of broadband wireless See wireless broadband. technology, announced recently that the FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. , under Part 15C, certified Teletronics' 11Mbps Wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area Card with up to 233 milliWatts (mW) of transmit power and detachable antenna (FCC Identifier--MFM-11-136). Teletronics' high-power LAN Card (Model 11-136) provides WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) An IEEE standard security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks. Introduced in 1997, WEP was found to be very inadequate and was superseded by WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i. encryption (64 bit or 128 bit) and supports an external antenna with MMCX connector. From the receiving end, the Card features a superior receive sensitivity of--85dBm at 11Mbps. Designed with outdoor applications in mind, the Card has a wide operating temperature range of -20 degrees to +70 degrees Celsius. For Teletronics' total solution applications, the Card is used as the transceiver unit in Teletronics' CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment Router or EZ-Bridge, allowing the system to deliver versatile low-cost wireless outdoor broadband solutions for Wireless ISPs as a bridge, a router, or a back-to-back repeater, all conveniently configurable by the user. For other applications by innovative-minded users, the Card can be integrated into any client device operating under Windows 2000 or XP operating systems. The Card is IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.11b-compliant and can be operated in infrastructure mode with the latest Wi-Fi certified wireless LAN access points under 802.11g. Software is provided to support users to perform link configurations and diagnostics. Standard 802.11b LAN Cards for PC plug-in applications have about one-fourth the power of Teletronics' new 11-136 Cards. Selling at a price comparable to the cost of standard LAN Cards, Teletronics' "high power" Cards offer significantly better in-door penetration and much longer line-of-sight range. |
