RangeLAN2 and RangeLINK Products

Proxim's RangeLAN2 product family is designed for high performance
mobility-based wireless LAN applications. Based on highly secure,
interference-immune 2.4 GHz frequency hopping spread spectrum technology,
the RangeLAN2 family delivers the longest range, highest throughput and
most advanced wireless network architecture of any product in its class.
RangeLAN2 provides an uncompressed data rate of 1.6 megabits per second
(Mbps) per channel across each of 15 channels, permitting an aggregate
wireless network bandwidth of up to 24 Mbps, with state-of-the-art
features such as seamless roaming, advanced power management, the
IEEE-endorsed high throughput modulation approach and site survey
