The Cisco Aironet 340 network adapter (Part Number: AIR-PCI341/10) is a reliable PCI card designed for efficient wireless networking in both small and medium-sized environments. It offers wireless access for devices requiring robust network connectivity while using a PCI form factor, making it ideal for older desktop or workstation setups that lack integrated wireless capabilities. Its primary use case is to deliver a stable wireless network connection to devices where hardwired connections may not be feasible.
This PCI card operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency band, which is compatible with IEEE 802.11b wireless communication standards. The card supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 11 Mbps, which was standard for its time. While not suitable for high-speed data transfers or modern applications that require throughput beyond 11 Mbps, it is still adequate for tasks such as web browsing, basic file sharing, and network printing on older network setups.
Integrated WEP encryption ensures additional security in environments requiring basic protection of transmitted data. This card is equipped with a built-in antenna for enhanced signal pickup, allowing better connectivity over moderate distances. Additionally, the card is compatible with both Windows and Linux systems, making it versatile for various older system configurations that may still be in operation. The physically compact design of the PCI card fits cleanly into any available PCI slot, making installation straightforward.
As a legacy product, it is mainly used in maintenance and support scenarios for legacy systems that still rely on 802.11b networking solutions. It plays a crucial role in extending wireless functionality to legacy devices in older networks, particularly in environments where upgrading to modern hardware is not a priority or possible.
