Seamless Connectivity Gives You the Freedom to Roam
The RangeLAN2 7400 PC Card delivers an optimal combination of range, throughput, and low power consumption. It’s the perfect solution for users of laptop PCs, WindowsTM CE devices, and all other devices with standard Type II PCMCIA slots.

Imagine being able to take your laptop or palmtop anywhere in your workplace with unbroken network connectivity. Scan your email while listening to a lecture. Call up an important file during a meeting. Use the web to verify a crucial fact. With the RangeLAN2 7400 PC Card and a RangeLAN2 network backbone in place in your facility, all this is not just possible, but today it is reality for thousands of satisfied customers worldwide.

Power Management That Keeps You On the Move
With Marathon Power Management, the RangeLAN2 7400 PC Card keeps you mobile longer. In most applications, when your device is neither transmitting nor receiving but needs to be network aware, the 7400 slips into doze mode, greatly reducing current draw. Further, the 7400 features the industry’s lowest transmit (300 mA) and receive (150 mA) power consumption.

Guaranteed Interoperability
The RangeLAN2 7400, has shrunk its award-winning technology to a single, one-piece PC Card that provides seamless roaming. Free from the burden of older, two-piece designs, even small Windows CE platforms can now benefit from wireless network connectivity. And since the RangeLAN2 7400 fully complies with the OpenAirTM standard, connectivity and interoperability is guaranteed with all of the large base of OpenAir-certified products from the more than twenty companies belonging to the Wireless LAN Interoperability Forum.

Standard Drivers and Software Tools for Easy Network Installation
Site Survey software is provided with each unit to assist in fast and easy wireless network design and installation. With drivers for all major operating systems, the RangeLAN2 7400 quickly becomes a natural wireless extension to your existing Ethernet or Token Ring network.
