Compaq Evo N1020v - MultiPort

MultiPort

MultiPort is an innovative feature created by Compaq. The idea was that it would use the MultiPort to connect to various expansion cards. The MultiPort used on the Evo N1020v used the USB 2.0 technology. This meant that, as though the notebook has no USB2 controller, and only supported the USB1.1 hub, the MutliPort was a separate technology altogether. There are three major variations of the cards that slot in; namely:

• W200 - Wireless LAN (WLAN) 802.11b standard with 11 Mbit/s
• W300 - Bluetooth standard with 2 Mbit/s
• W400 - GPRS standard for worldwide communication

There are possible other versions which can be built customly on the technology.
