        Linksys has introduced a wireless CompactFlash card supporting the 54 Mbps 802.11g standard. The WCF54G is compatible with Windows Mobile PDAs running Windows Mobile Pocket PC edition 2002 or later. In addition to supporting 802.11g, the card is also backward-compatible with the 11 Mbps 802.11b standard.

        According to Linksys, the WCF54G can roam seamlessly among multiple 802.11g/b wireless network access points and wireless routers. The card also supports "ad hoc mode" (i.e. communication without an access point), which enables it to communicate directly with other wireless devices without requiring a cradle or network connection.

        Other features of the Linksys Wireless-G CompactFlash Card are said to include:
        • Up to 54 Mbps data transfer rate
        • Built in power management
        • User-friendly installation and configuration software
        • Plug-and-Play operation
        • Integrated antenna with Link LED
        • Interoperable with Wi-Fi Certified IEEE 802.11g devices
        • Supports up to 128-bit WEP encryption for wireless security
        • Roams among Access Points without resetting or reconfiguring
        • Automatic fallback data rate (increases data reliability)
        • Works with Type II PCMCIA card slots
        The Wireless-G CompactFlash Card (WCF54G) is available immediately, for an estimated street price of $99.
