Maxtech Introduces the New XWL-431 Wireless 802.11 PCMCIA NIC Card
Cerritos, CA (April 22, 1999) -- Maxtech Corporation is please to announce the launch of
the new Maxtech XWL-431 PC NIC Card, the latest addition to the broad line of Maxtech Netpacer wireless networking
products. The XWL-431 slides into the PCMCIA slot of any notebook PC, allowing unprecedented freedom to roam the
building while staying connected to a network.
Wireless networking is making a big impact in the efficiency and productivity in corporate, healthcare and educational
environments. Office workers can stroll from office to conference room, staying logged onto the network. Some
colleges have begun requiring students to use a wireless PC card with a notebook computer for a new level of interactive
learning in lecture classes. Some hospitals are even removing their notorious check-in counters. The in-patient
is immediately given a room key. A nurse then arrives at the patient's room sporting a wireless networked notebook
PC for a more relaxing check-in. Wireless also eliminates the expense of numerous cable installations.
The 2.4 GHz, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Type II Maxtech XWL-431 is a compact 5"x2.25"x.25",
with a tiny built-in antenna for a new level of mobility. The device complies with IEEE 802.11 standards for
maximum compatibility with other devices. It can reach 800 to 1000 feet in open spaces, and comes with a two year
limited warranty.
The new Maxtech XWL-431 has a suggested retail price of $399, and is available from major distributors, such as
Ingram Micro, D & H Distributing and Tech Data. Maxtech offers a broad line of wireless products, including:
· XWL-411 Wireless Access Point
