Wireless LANs generally do not provide the reliability or the bandwidth required to support high quality video streams such as those provided by the Kaleidescape Server. The burst data rate for a DVD data stream can reach 11 megabits per second, which exceeds the practical capacity of 802.11a and 802.11b, and even some configurations of 802.11g. (However, we have received reports from customers that are successfully using 802.11g to connect a Kaleidescape Player to the Server.

Yes, if your wireless LAN card conforms to IEEE 802.11b or Wifi standards. You can create a separate profile to your wireless LAN card.

Yes. Staff and departments can register their own wireless LAN cards . For more details, please call the CSC Help Desk at 2788 7658. The website of registering the Wireless LAN cards, Network Connection Management System, cannot be reached. If you are using other ISP broadband /dial-up service at home or in office, please kindly setup a VPN connection in your PC. After established CityU VPN connection, you can go to https://applix.cityu.edu.hk/ncm/login.asp for network application.

The Wireless LAN Consortium uses a variety of tools, both commercial and custom-made, for the purposes of performing our testing services. A list of these tools can be found on our Test Tools page.

If your friend/acquaintance connects to the internet via cablecom, notification will be sent automatically. Correct authentication was already previously required if your friend/acquaintance connected via a third-party provider (e.g. ADSL), regardless of whether it was to cablecom or another ISP. Thus, changes are not necessary. This is only a temporary phenomenon and only possible in the transitional phase. Once cablecom makes the permanent switchover this will no longer be possible.

The CSMA/CA in local area networking technique that combines slotted time-division multiplexing with carrier sense multiple access/collision detection (CSMA/CD) to avoid having collisions occur a second time. This works best if the time allocated is short compared to packet length and if the number of situations is small.

No - the Wireless PHONE Jack is supporting V21,V34 and V.90 analog modems / fax machines and ordinary wired phones.

The UNH-IOL Wireless LAN Consortium is an industry-supported organization that works in conjunction with its member companies to provide a neutral test environment and industry accepted test methodologies for the purpose of promoting and fostering interoperability of Wireless LAN devices.

Wireless LAN Option service provides your computer to connect to your ADSL modem without a cable. This service is not for Wireless LAN service like Hot Spot.

Generally speaking, IEEE 802.11g / IEEE 802.11b / Wi-Fi certified wireless LAN cards are compatible with our wireless service.

infrastructure network is a wireless network or other small network in which the wireless network devices are made a part of the network through the Access Point which connects them to the rest of the network.

A LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and enjoys a continuous connection to an Infrastructure network.

Computer retailers, Computer manufacturers, electronics retailers, etc. We recommend purchasing a wireless card directly from our website http://www.rightwayonlinestore.com/ for best compatibility and technical support assistance. Some recent laptops, notebooks, PDA's are built with wireless capabilities preinstalled. Consult your manufacturer to learn whether Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) is installed on your specific device.

Wireless LAN or WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data among nodes. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN within a building or campus. Typical bit-rates for current wireless devices are 11Mbps and 54Mbps. Wireless LANs can be formed simply by equipping PC's with wireless NICs.

Yes. The idea behind the wireless network is network connections without wires. Any service available over wired networks is deliverable over "wireless" limited only by the wireless bandwidth or bit rate, on any single point to point link (currently limited at 11Mbits/sec) or ability to pay. To connect to the internet using wireless requires a pathway or route to an Internet Access Provider (IAP)....
