LANEscape is designed to meet the specifications of the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard of draft 5. The IEEE 802.11 was ratified in June 1997. To ensure investment protection and future interoperability with other standard compliant wireless LAN products, Z-Com will provide new operating software that allow users to upgrade to the current version of the standard. LANEscape features two-fold protection in security. On the software side, the LANEscape series offers an encryption function to ensure security.
Users can setup it depending on their needs.
Encryption and transmission speed have a trade-off relationship. When the encryption function is being used, data transmission speed will inevitably be slightly slower. An Ad hoc wireless LAN is appropriate in a department, a branch, or in SOHO operation. The LANEscape series performs the same functions as LAN products . Therefore LANEscape can use Netware, Windows NT, or other LAN operating systems to acquire printer or file sharing.
