Nokia Unveils GPRS/802.11b PC Card
Now notebook users have a
variety of options for wireless Web connectivity, Nokia said at the
launch of its GPRS/802.11b PC card.
The D211, a multimode PC card, extends personal mobility further
with remote access to corporate services, said Nigel Rundstrom, vice
president for strategic marketing in Asia Pacific. "Users will
need only one device for mobile data services and e-mail, but will
have more options for connecting to the Internet and the company
intranet."
