Chapter 1   Introduction 
1.  Introduction 
WN7511A 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. 
WN7511A 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.
