AW-NU203
USB 2.0 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 extra cables and cords. It provides easy-to-use, high performance, cost
effective and low power solution. Moreover, AW-NU203 enables compatible high-speed wireless
connectivity within home, business and public access wireless networks.
Compliant with the IEEE 802.11n/g/b standard, AW-NU203 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK, CCK and QAM
baseband modulation technologies. When you are using AW-NU203, a high level of integration and
full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard can
minimize system power requirements.
The AW-NU203 802.11n/g/b Wireless USB Module provides up to 128-bit level of WEP security to
your wireless data transfers. It is able to run in the operating systems of Windows XP/Vista in either
Infrastructure mode or Ad-Hoc mode. Comparing to previous wireless technology, AW-NU203 got
great improvements on speed and range. The wireless range increased up to two times wider and
coverage area reduced the situation of dead spots. “Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology
uses signal reflections to increase the range and maintain wireless connections up to five times
farther; therefore, with MIMO, AW-NU203 is able to double the data rate up to 300Mbps.
