INTRODUCTION

All Horizons Wireless products are designed and manufactured by Direct2Data Technologies. Products

are fully compliant with IEEE 802.11b standards and are optimized to provide maximum possible speed

and bandwidth through your Internet connection for fastest uploads and downloads.

The distance capabilities of your wireless network equipment directly affect your signal quality. Distance

capabilities are usually stated in terms of outdoor, open  eld reach. However, this reach is greatly

diminished indoors by walls, doors, construction techniques and appliances that may block the radio

signal. A wireless network card that tests outdoors at 200 feet could, in an indoor environment, provide 20

feet in one direction and as little as 5 or 10 feet in another direction. Factors such as building materials,

 oor plans and furnishings can greatly impact the signal range, quality and rate of data transmission. The

extent to which your signal is affected varies greatly depending on your environment.

Wireless network products powered by D2D technology will provide better performance than other

products because they can achieve open  eld distances of up to one mile, (when a D2D enabled card

is used in conjunction with a D2D enabled base station). The D2D card alone provides 3 to 10 times the

distance of other leading brands. This is suf cient to reach all rooms in most homes or small of ces.

HZ1500 Wireless LAN Card

The following chapters are structured as a step-by-step guide to help

you connect, install and setup your Horizons Wireless LAN Card.

• Helps to augment existing networks quickly and easily

• Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology provides robust, interference-resistant and

secure wireless connections

• Wireless connectivity minus the cost of cabling

• Supports, Windows 2000/XP

• Supports Plug and Play

• Ease of installation

• Flexibility and mobility to locate or move networked computers

1.3 Applications

The Horizons Wireless LAN Card offers fast, reliable and cost-effective solutions for wireless net-

works. They include:

• Remote Access to Corporate Network Information for email,  le transfer and terminal emulation

access.

• Dif cult to Wire Environments - For use in historical or old buildings, asbestos installations and

open areas where wiring is impossible to deploy.

• Frequently Changing Environments - For retailers, manufacturers and those who frequently rear

range the workplace or change location.

HZ1500 Wireless LAN Card

• Temporary LAN’s for Special Projects or During Peak Time - For trade shows, exhibitions and

construction sites where a temporary network is required. For retailers, airline and shipping com

panies who need additional workstations during peak periods. For auditors requiring workgroups
