Overview: Symphony Cordless
Networking Suite
Fast, Seamless Networking without Wires
The Symphony Cordless Networking Suite delivers simple, hassle-free networking for your
laptops and desktops without wires. Utilizing proven wireless technology, Symphony creates
a cordless 1.6 Mbps Ethernet local area network (LAN) among all your computers. Now that
you’ve got a second (or third or fourth) computer, there is no need to buy additional
printers or invest in multiple Internet Service Provider accounts. And forget sharing
files with floppies. Cordless networking with Symphony allows you to share all these
resources effortlessly. And at 1.6 Mbps, Symphony is three times faster than other home
and small office networking solutions.
Compose A Solution that Meets Your Needs
Symphony Cordless Networking Suite delivers the products you need to create a solution
exactly for you. Don’t compromise with one-size-fits-all solutions that eliminate
your parallel port or that are bulky and hard to accommodate. Symphony ISA Card and
Symphony PC Cards wirelessly network your desktop and laptop computers. Use the Symphony
Cordless Modem if you’d like to upgrade to 56 Kbps access to the Internet or have the
freedom to place your desktops anywhere in your home or small office.
There’s more. If you have network access via a cable modem, ISDN line, or ADSL
gateway, the Symphony Cordless Ethernet Bridge can orchestrate a connection to the outside
world for all your computers - wirelessly.
Freedom to Roam
Unlike solutions that use bulky adapters connected to your parallel port, Symphony gives
laptop users a truly mobile solution. The Symphony Cordless PC Card frees you from the
phone jack. So you can check e-mail, surf the web or chat online from anywhere in your
home or backyard!
Easy to Install
Networking is hard, right? You’d need a degree in engineering or a full-time IT
staffer before installing it in your home or small office, right? Wrong. Symphony
Plug-and-play Windows 95 adapters and the Symphony Composer Installation Wizard guided
three-step process make it simple. All you need to know is the phone number of your
Internet Service Provider.
Reliable
Install and forget. Really. Like your answering machine, Symphony Cordless products need
no on-going maintenance. How? Symphony is based on the same award-wining Proxim wireless
technology used by banks, stock exchanges, hospitals and corporations around the world.
These people rely on Proxim wireless today to transfer money, buy and sell
thousands of shares of stock, or record critical care information. You too can rely on it
to always be ready to connect you to a printer, another computer, or the Internet.
Ready When You Are
Unlike solutions that use phone or AC wiring Symphony is always ready when you are. With
no dependencies on the quality of existing AC or phone wiring, you don’t need to
wonder whether or not it will work well in your home. And with
Symphony, there’s no need to wait for someone to get off the phone before you can use
your network.
