Features

  • Advanced high-performance MAC architecture supports future QoS and security enhancements
  • AirForce™ OneDriver™ software is forward-compatible with future wireless LAN standards
  • Best-in-class range due to superior receiver sensitivity
  • Compatible with existing 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.11b test and support equipment
  • Convenient software integration tools to enable routers, gateways and other products for wireless LAN
  • Easy to integrate into end systems with WHQLcertified Windows drivers and embedded drivers for Linux™ and VxWorks® operating systems
  • Extended battery life due to low power and CPU requirements, all-CMOS design, and comprehensive power management
  • Fast time-to-market with production-quality board reference design, comprehensive BOM support, and a complete suite of manufacturing test tools
  • First available 54-Mbps solution in the 2.4-GHz band, compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard and the 802.11g draft standard
  • Flexible single-function or multifunction capability for PCI, Mini PCI, and CardBus form factors
  • Global products supported with world-wide homologated design and single SKU
  • High-performance security through WEPweak key avoidance; TKIP; hardware AES supporting CCM and OCB, WPA, 802.1x, and 802.11i
  • Industry leading throughput—achieves maximum performance within each standard
  • Low manufacturing cost from single-sided assembly optimized for DFM and DTM
  • Lowest CPU utilization design leaves system resources available for other functions
  • Lowest system cost through direct conversion radio architecture that uses few external components and eliminates the need for flash and costly RF filters
  • Robust performance in real-world operating environments even in the presence of wireless LAN, Bluetooth™ and other 2.4-GHz devices
  • Simple 2-chip design with fully integrated VCO using standard CMOS process technology
  • SmartRadio continuous calibration reduces test time and improves manufacturability
  • SmartRadio wireless echo reduction greatly improves 802.11b delay spread tolerance and performance
  • SmartRadio™ advanced OFDM improves high-speed wireless throughput by dynamically adapting to radio noise conditions during the signal decoding process
  • Zero configuration with Microsoft® XP operating system and advanced utilities and common GUI for legacy operating systems
