1 | Introduction
Socket’s Wi-Fi products for Windows Mobile are the perfect tools to
connect to enterprise and public Wi-Fi systems, so you can access email,
the Internet, and corporate servers from your favorite Pocket PC.
Socket Go Wi-Fi!

Spectrum (DSSS) technology at 2.4-2.5 GHz, conform to IEEE 802.11b

products. Spread-spectrum communication provides a high-capacity
network, and data rates up to 11 Mbps enable quick downloads.
