Chapter 1 Introduction
1. Introduction
WN8522B is a dual band wireless 802.11n USB Adapter which enables wireless networking
systems to attain data communication speeds up to 300 megabits-per-second (Mbps), while
remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of Wi-Fi systems worldwide. It
supports operation to the IEEE 802.11a/b and IEEE 802.11g ,and draft IEEE 802.11n
standards.
WN8522B 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.

FCC Statement :
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.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not
possible.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted in indoor environment only.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been
tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 0.5 cm between the radiator & your body.

IC Statement :
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme á la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not
possible.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note
that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by
the technology.
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile
satellite systems.
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p.
limit.
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for
point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3).
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz
and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IC Radiation Exposure Statement
This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in
accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528. This equipment should be installed and
operated with minimum distance 0.5cm between the radiator & your body.
