PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The WN2302A is a Wireless LAN miniPCI card designed for notebook/laptop. It works under
2.4GHz bandwidth with max data transfer rate of 54Mbps. WN2302A is compatible with IEEE
802.11 standards, i.e. 802.11b, and 802.11g. It provides full functional wireless access within
wireless environments anytime, anywhere at a data rate up to 54Mbps.
The WN2302A is developed using advanced chipsets designed by Atheros Communications.
To ensure that user’s privacy is well protected, the WN2302A is developed to feature
enterprise-class security, i.e. 40-bit, 128-bit, 152-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encryptions, Temporal Key Intergrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) encryptions. A new security feature, WPA (WiFi Protected Access), is also supported.
The WPA includes the 802.11x, a centralized, server-based authentication.
We choose Atheros AR2413 which is an all CMOS, single chip solution to develop
IEEE802.11b/g wireless miniPCI card. It enables a high performance, low power consumption
with competitive cost.
WN2302A also supports Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) by using Atheros standard
application utility. This feature allows compatibility with Cisco Aironet wireless infrastructure
products.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• Operate at ISM frequency bands (2.4GHz) with 54Mbps data rate
• IEEE standards support: IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g

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:
y Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
y Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
y Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
y 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 and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
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 device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
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.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or
co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID
cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating
the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
The host integrate this module is limited to those with 3.3VDC regulator for providing this module stable power
source.
Modular OEM Integrator Notice
End Product Labeling
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains TX FCC ID: SQ3APR6200801”.
