Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
●
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
●
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
●
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
●
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and
users. For laptop installations, the antenna must be installed to ensure that the proper
spacing is maintained in the event the users places the device in their lap during use (i.e.
positioning of antennas must be placed in the upper portion of the LCD panel only to
ensure 20 cm will be maintained if the user places the device in their lap for use) and 2)
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As
long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any
additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
This device which use the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz band are for indoor use only, and that
outdoor use will void the users authority to operate this product.
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for
example access points, routers, wireless ASDL modems, certain laptop configurations,
and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the
following: "Contains TX FCC ID: MQ4SDW310C.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
IEEE 802.11a or 802.11b/g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is
firmware -limited to channels 1 through 11.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users, and
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or
antenna.
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this
module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral
requirements, etc.).

SDIO Interface
Supports the IEEE802.11 a/b/g wireless.
High radio performance.
Low power consumption.
Data rates of 6-54Mbps for 802.11a and 1-54Mbps for 802.11g.
Embedded 40MHz reference clock supported.
Sleep clock using 32 KHz clock.
Ready OS support as WinCE 5.0 and 6.0, Linux 2.6.9.
2 type external cable antenna to enhance extra performance
SD WLAN MODULE WIRELESS NETWORKS
SD WLAN Module Network Scenarios
The 802.11abg Wireless SDIO Module enables you to:
• Connect your computer to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup of wireless computing devices
• Connect your computer to a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) network that includes Wi-Fi access
points
• Connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure that includes the 802.11abg
Wireless SDIO Module, or other IEEE 802.11b compliant LAN systems
Wireless stations can be equipped with the 802.11abg Wireless SDIO Module, but also with other WLAN
PC Modules. Both of them share the same wireless functionality.
2
Peer-to-Peer (Ad-hoc) Workgroup
The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where
the workgroup participants can exchange files using features like “Files and Printer Sharing” as supported
by Microsoft® Networking.
You can use this option to setup a temporary or Ad-hoc network in environments where no access points
are available (for example in Small Office/Home Office “SOHO” environments). As long as the stations
are within range of one another, this is the easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless network.
Home Networking
With 802.11abg Wireless SDIO Module, wireless access to the Internet or other devices is at your
fingertips. All you need to do is connect the 802.11abg Wireless SDIO Module to an existing access point
that may be connected to the external Cable or xDSL modems and you are ready to:
Share files and printers, and
Access the Internet
Enterprise Networking
With the Wi-Fi certified access point in the corporate network system, you can connect to a corporate Local
Area Network (LAN) infrastructure to access all network facilities in wireless. LAN Infrastructures may
either be:
Stand-alone wireless LANs
Wireless network infrastructures connected to an existing Ethernet network
