DNMA-83 is a 802.11n a/b/g wifi 3x3 mini-PCI module designed specifically to
enable high-performance 3x3 MIMO access point (AP) and router solutions for
dual-band (2.4/5GHz) applications that demand robust link quality and maximum
throughput and range. Setting new standards in throughput, range, reliability, and
power consumption, DNMA-83 delivers the ultimate wireless triple play experience
for video, voice, and data transmission in the home, for the business, and on the
road.
Atheros AR9160+AR9106 solution and 3 antennas design supports 2 simultaneous
traffic MIMO streams using up to 3 integrated Tx and Rx for high throughput and
range performance.
▪ Dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n support 3Tx/3Rx to enable data rate up to 300Mbps link rate for 40MHz channel, six
times the throughput of 802.11a and 802.11g.
▪ Same EVM on both light and heavy loading maintain lower packet error to increase channel efficiency.
▪ Heat sink design provides reliable high power RF performance.
▪ Mini-PCI Type IIIA form factor with screw hole is ideal for solid mounting onto motherboard.
▪ Supported by ath9k providing Linux kernel AP/Station/IBSS/Monitor/Mesh/WDS-mode drivers for industrial,
academic, or personal projects at highest flexibility and lowest cost.
▪ Atheros Linux SDK for AP and client-mode sub-license available by project.
▪ 802.11n compliance effectively interoperates with other chipsets.
▪ Supports IEEE 802.11a/802.11b/802.11g backward compatibility allowing inter-operability among multiple wifi
networks.
▪ Supports 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, 802.1x authentication, WPA, and AES-CCM & TKIP encryption enabling
advanced LAN security.
▪ Three Hirose U.FL antenna connectors support MIMO functionality.
▪ Capable to be operated within FCC DFS2 or ETSI/EC DFS mid-5GHz band subjected to the regulatory approval
done with the resided devices.
▪ RoHS compliance meets environment-friendly requirement.

What’s the benefits to use 3x3 2-stream instead of other standard 2x2 2-stream?
DNMA-83 3x3 2-stream outperforms other standard 2x2, 2-stream by better than 40% in the 20-100 ft range at 20MHz
mode and 50% better in the critical 50-80 ft range at 40MHz mode.
