Eyeing a potentially high-growth area in business software, IBM said Monday that it has dedicated 1,000 employees to software that sews together disparate strands of related information.
With a new version of an 802.11 LAN Texas Instruments may well get you the 11Mbps connection speed promised, but rarely delivered by 802.11b.
Until recently, it's been difficult to use the words "secure" and "wireless" in the same sentence. Recent developments mean that's no longer the case. ZDNet Australia looks at six different options.
Plans are being made to introduce new technologies that will increase reliability, security, and speed to wireless networking. Here are some of the technologies to consider when planning the future of your wireless network.
In recent months, wireless networks have received a boost as products based on the 802.11g standard--capable of 54Mbps--have come into the mainstream. Are you ready for fast wireless?
While not a necessity, the DWL-G730AP is a highly convenient, inexpensive tool for frequent travellers.
If your priorities don't include long-range connectivity, then by all means get the somewhat ironically named Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240 wireless notebook adaptor for its record-breaking short-range speeds.
The Netgear WPN511 offers outstanding speed when used with its router counterpart, the WPN824, but its performance suffers in mixed-mode environments.
The WG302 offers dual antennas, hardy WEP and WPA security, bridge/repeater capabilities, and -- best of all -- it helps Wi-Fi transmissions remain strong by sidestepping rival signals.
The DWL-G520 is a good choice if you own an older PC that lacks USB 2.0 ports.
