Introduction
The B2CH118AA (hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a 2.4 GHz radio module
compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LAN operation. It is designed
to be interoperable with WLAN products which are based on Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology.
The module contains a complete IEEE 802.11b/g/n radio and Medium Access
Control (MAC) protocol engine which allows implementation of an IEEE
802.11b/g/n access point (AP).
The module is not intended for stand-alone operation. It will only be marketed as a
complete product, in conjunction with a package, DC power supply and antennas
(hereafter referred to as “the product” or the “final product”).
The module can be used in the 2.4 GHz ISM unlicensed bands.
Since the module has a BelAir networks proprietary digital interface, it cannot be
directly connected to any standard telecommunications or computer devices. It
can only be used with final products designed and authorized specifically for that
purpose.
