Ositech Communications Inc. announces the latest addition to the Trumpcard family of PC Cards, the
Seven of
Spades. This CardBus Networking card provides a versatile and economical solution for mobile professionals who have migrated to CardBus laptops, but who need the flexibility to move between 10Mbps and 100Mbps environments.
Ositech's Seven of
Spades Trumpcard provides users with the ability to take advantage of the speed available to those with CardBus laptops and access to 100Mbps networks, while at the same time allows those users to make use of the slower, but still widely used 10Mbps networks. The Seven of Spades offers full duplex capabilities in both environments, and boasts Ositech's Etherboost technology, which streamlines your network's response and file transfer times, giving you increased throughput for network intensive graphics and multimedia applications. In addition, the included Advanced Power Management function powers down you
Seven of
Spades when the card is not in use, thereby saving you valuable battery power and reducing the possibility of internal heat buildup damaging your notebook.
Michael Dodgson, Seven of
Spades Product Manager, states, "This card is a great solution for those who have already migrated to CardBus laptops. It gives users the ability to make the best of their time and of new technology when they have access to a 100Mbps network, yet sill allows them to use 10Mbps networks in offices that have not yet moved to 100BaseTX. It's the perfect combination in a world where businesses have a tough time keeping up with the innovations in technology that seem to come to light daily. Also, the price point Ositech has been able to maintain on the Seven of Spades makes it an outstanding value."
The Seven of
Spades will be in the channel January 31, 1998 at the list price of $199US. For part numbers and additional information, please visit Ositech's website at
