802.11g Wi-Fi card for Windows Mobile unveiled January 08, 2006 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By Edward J. R. 802.11g Wi-Fi known also "the G" not only brings faster transfer speeds (54 megabit/second compared to 11 megabit/second in "b" version) but also higher transfer quality and usability. Usually most public Wi-Fi hot spots are still "b" but at home everybody already has "g" (it's almost impossible to buy a Wi-Fi access point without support for "g")... so this card is a worthwhile addition for many Windows Mobile users... Socket Communications Unveils Go Wi-Fi! P500 - High-Speed Internet Add-On for Windows Mobile Devices Fastest 802.11g Wireless LAN Card with Enterprise-Class Security and Easy-to-Use Wi-Fi Companion Software Socket Communications announced the Go Wi-Fi! P500, an 802.11g CF Wireless LAN card for Windows Mobile 2003/SE & 5.0 Mobile based devices. The Go Wi-Fi! P500 offers superior performance, enhanced roaming capabilities and includes an intuitive graphical utility that enables users to easily find, connect and manage their favorite Wi-Fi networks. “Socket is committed to providing the best user experience for Wi-Fi connectivity,” said Peter Phillips, vice president of marketing at Socket. “The Go Wi-Fi! P500 is the fastest, most secure and easy-to-use 802.11g Wi-Fi card available. Users benefit from improved mobile productivity at work, at home, or in rapidly emerging public hot spots.” 802.11g is an extension to IEEE 802.11b – the basis of most wireless LANs in existence today. 802.11g broadens 802.11b’s data rates to 54 Mbps within the 2.4 GHz band. Because of backward compatibility, an 802.11g wireless card will interface directly with an 802.11b access point and vice versa. The Go Wi-Fi! P500 Card includes Socket’s highly acclaimed Wi-Fi Companion software that makes Wi-Fi connection and management extremely easy for the user. To learn more click here. Conclusion: there are several high end Pocket PC devices out there with CF card slot and 802.11g Wi-Fi addition will be very welcome and can significantly improve usability. With street price around 80 USD this card will be also very cheap and affordable. Unfortunately nobody offers yet 802.11g Wi-Fi card in SD or mini-SD format ...
