Product Specification WN4403A 4Chapter 1 Introduction 1. Introduction WN4403A is an industrial miniPCI Card which enables wireless networking systems to attain data transmission speeds at least up to 54 megabits-per-second (Mbps), while remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of over 15 million Wi-Fi systems worldwide. The product must be RoHS compliant and supports operation to both the IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g standards. WN4403A will enable a next generation of high-data-rate platforms for operation in the 2.4 GHz band that deliver a five-fold speed increase. It is fully IEEE 802.11g standard compliant, and uses prioritization algorithms and enhanced protection mechanisms to significantly increase pure 802.11g as well as mixed-mode network performance. The cost and performance advantages will make it an ideal solution for high bandwidth enterprise applications, such as wireless video conferencing and large file transfers, as well as advanced home networking applications such as multi-channel CD-quality audio and DVD-quality video streaming. WN4403A incorporates the 802.11g Standard's mandatory modulation schemes—Complementary Code Keying (CCK), which is used in 802.11b, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) used in 802.11g. Using CCK ensures backward-compatibility with the installed Wi-Fi 802.11b base, while OFDM provides the speed required for today's high-bandwidth applications. 1.1 Product Features ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ High speed for wireless LAN connection, up to 54 Mbps data rate.
