802.11(b) DSSS Standard

For a variety of reasons, AirBlaster recommends wireless LAN equipment that is based on the 802.11(b) DSSS standard. This has become the de facto standard in office applications, and a host of companies are producing equipment based on this. While there are many companies offering 802.11(b) DSSS compliant equipment, we feel that three companies stand out above the rest, Cisco Systems, Linksys and SMC.

AirBlaster offers equipment sales and installation services separately. If you want to buy the equipment and install it yourself, we'll be glad to ship it to you. We also offer installation services if you desire a turnkey, no-hassle way to launch your wireless network. Either way, just give us a call at 1-877-977-5678.

Cisco

For larger companies needing a variety of features, we highly recommend the Cisco 350 Series wireless system. This system provides the ultimate degree of flexibility and can be configured to meet almost any need. The 350 Series is a top of the line package backed by a world class company. Because of its many unique features, however, this system should be configured and installed by a qualified technician based upon a needs analysis, a site survey and a final design plan. Key features include:

	Support for inline power over Ethernet, simplifying and reducing the cost of installation
	High-performance 100 Milliwatt (mW) radio design, with power management capabilities
	User-level, per session encryption capability
