Product overview
Thank you for choosing AzureWave802.11 n/b/g USB WLAN Module.
The AzureWave802.11 n/b/g USB WLAN Module is an easy-to-use wireless local area network
(WLAN) adapter which is designed for home or office use. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS), Complementary Code Keying (CCK), and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM) base band processing are implemented to support all IEEE draft 2.0 802.11n / 802.11a,
802.11b, and 802.11g data rates. Differential phase shift keying modulation schemes, DBPSK
and DQPSK with data scrambling capability, are available, along with complementary code
keying to provide data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps, with long or short preamble. A high-speed
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)/Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) combined with BPSK,
QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM modulation of the individual sub-carriers provides data rates of 6, 9,
12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54Mbps, with rate-compatible punctured convolution coding with a
coding rate of 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.
To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the hardware-based IEEE 802.11i
encryption/decryption engine, including 64-bit/128-bit WEP, TKIP, and AES, supports Wi-Fi
alliance WPA and WPA2 security.
With these features and many more, AzureWave802.11 n/b/g USB WLAN Module is ready to
connect you to the world of wireless communication.
