Introduction
Product Overview
The WLAN17202ER is designed to provide wireless communication for PC/104-
Plus
and PCI-104 based
systems. It communicates via the standard 802.11a/b/g protocols. The WLAN17202ER can be used to
connect multiple PC systems together. The WLAN17202ER uses the 5004 MP Atheros 4G Mini-PCI
module from Netgate. This module is connected to the PC/104 PCI bus through a Mini-PCI connector
and special circuitry to allow for compatibility with either 3.3V or 5V PCI signaling.
