Introduction AWN11N-001 is  a wireless 1x1 802.11n  USB Adapter which enables wireless  networking systems to attain data communication speeds up to 150 megabits-per-second (Mbps), while remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of Wi-Fi systems worldwide. It supports operation to the IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g ,and draft IEEE 802.11n standards. AWN11N-001 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. 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. It is compatible with 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 and draft 802.11n. 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.

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. 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.  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.  IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to channels 1 through 11.  IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This  equipment  complies  with  FCC  radiation  exposure  limits  set  forth  for  an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for  satisfying  RF  exposure  compliance.  To  maintain  compliance  with  FCC  RF exposure  compliance  requirements,  please  follow  operation  instruction  as documented in this manual.  This  transmitter  must  not  be  co-located  or  operating  in  conjunction  with  any  other antenna or transmitter.
