The Mini-PCI Card uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology, and implements DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK, OFDM modulation, as defined in the IEEE® 802.11b, g. This gives a very robust radio channel, which is made even better by the excellent receiver sensitivity and delay spread robustness. In environments with radio interference, the Mini-PCI Card, because of its acknowledgment protocol and its option to be tuned to another frequency channel, continues to run. Superior echo path management makes it suitable for areas with a large delay spread, for example, warehouses. This reduces the number of cells required and, therefore, reduces the total cost of ownership. A firmware-based architecture is capable of supporting the latest industry standards in the security and quality of service (QoS), as the draft 802.11i and 802.11e standards, respectively. The Mini-PCI Card is complemented by drivers and networking tools for various versions of the Windows® operating system. USI provides extensive technical documentation on integration issues such as antenna design, customizing drivers, and management software.

Note: Actual receive sensitivity for individual products may vary based on manufacturing process and environmental variations Antenna Specifications The Mini-PCI adapter is available in two variants: unique coax connectors with diversity function. On-Board Diversity Switch This variant of the Mini-PCI Card has connectors for two external passive antennas: MAIN and AUX. One of the antennas is used for transmission, and the DSP selects which of the two to use for reception, based on signal strength.

The coax connectors for the antennas are mechanically unique, so that no off-the-shelf connector will fit (FCC requirement). Switch electronics for selection between the two antennas for reception of the stronger receive signal is provided onboard. Security At the physical layer, transmissions are encrypted using WEP; three levels of encryption are possible： • 40-bit key plus 24-bit initialization vector • 104-bit key plus 24-bit initialization vector • 128-bit key plus 24-bit initialization vector AES, TKIP, WPA draft 802.11i are supported. Attacks have been made on WEP by exploiting various weaknesses. The Mini-PCI Card implements random setting of the initialization vector and utilizes WEPplus, which prevents initialization vectors that result in weak keys being used. WEPplus is completely compatible with WEP. For those operating systems that support it either natively or with an add-on supplement (i.e, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, the 802.1x, WPA/TKIP SSN security standard are implemented. This offers port-based network access control, and automatic key distribution. Performance Table 1.

Regulatory Statements for BCM94318MPG USA-Federal Communications Commission (FCC) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it 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 tuning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna -Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. -Connect the equipment to outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Canada – Industry Canada (IC) This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada. 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 this device.” L ‘ utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’ utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif. The term "IC" before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
Pour empecher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit etre utilize a l'interieur et devrait etre place loin des fenetres afin de Fournier un ecram de blindage maximal. Si le matriel (ou son antenne d'emission) est installe a l'exterieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence. Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
