I. Introduction
i. Overview
SparkLAN Communications, Inc. introduces the pioneer of the IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB
Half-Mini-Card wireless module --- WPER-150GN. The WPER-150GN USB Half-Mini-Card wireless
module is a highly integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) solution to let users enjoy the
digital content through the latest wireless technology without using the extra cables and cords. It
enables a high performance, cost effective, low power, compact solution that easily fits onto one
side of a USB Half-Mini-Card.
Compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard, the WPER-150GN uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK, CCK and
QAM baseband modulation technologies.
A high level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in
the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize system power requirements by using WPER-150GN.
Longer Range and Faster Speed
Comparing to 802.11g technology, 802.11n draft 3.0 standard make big improvement on speed and
range. It Increases wireless range by up to 2 times and reduces dead spots in coverage area. The
data rate can up to 150Mbps data rate.

iii. Product Review
1. Connection Mode
◎Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode needs an access point to establish the network, which can provide wireless accesses
within valid range for users to communicate with others or transmit data with a wired network. There are
several benefits of Infrastructure networking:
√ Roaming: a wireless LAN enabled computer can physically move from the operating range of one
access point to the other without losing connection. There is a quick association made between new
access point and wireless device as the computer traverses from the coverage of one access point to
another.
√ Range Extension: each wireless LAN enabled computer within the range of access point can
communicate with other wireless LAN enabled computers within the effective range from the access
point.
√ Wired to wireless LAN connection: the access point will establish a bridge between wireless LAN
and other wired counterparts.

◎Ad-hoc Mode
The difference between Ad-hoc mode and Infrastructure mode is that Ad-hoc mode does not need the
access point or router. When you use this mode, your computer will act as a server within the valid range
and connect directly to others in the same LAN workgroup.
Ad-hoc Mode
It is recommended to choose this mode when there is no access point showed on your wireless
network.

● Switch off the radio components (Bluetooth or wireless LAN) on the device when you are in a
hospital, an operating room or near a medical electronics system. The transmitted radio waves
can impair the operation of the medical devices.
● Keep the device at least 20 cm from a pacemaker, as otherwise the proper operation of the
pacemaker may be impaired by radio waves.
● The transmitted radio waves can cause an unpleasant humming in hearing aids.
● Switch off the device when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
● Do not let the device near flammable gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. paintshops)
with radio components switched on, as the transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or
a fire.
