I. Introduction
i. Overview
AzureWave Technologies, Inc.
introduces the first IEEE 802.11b/g/n WLAN module Card
-
AW-NU173
. By using AW-NU173, the customers can easily enable the Wi-Fi embedded
applications with the benefits of
high
design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick
time-to-market.
Compliance with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard, the AW-NU173 uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (
DSSS
), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (
OFDM
),
DBPSK
,
DQPSK
,
CCK
and
QAM
baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of
the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system
power requirements by using AW-NU173. In addition to the support of
WPA/WPA2
and
WEP
64-bit and 128-bit encryption, the AW-NU173 also supports the
IEEE 802.11i
security standard
through the implementation of
Advanced Encryption Standard
(
AES)/Counter Mode CBC-MAC
Protocol (CCMP),
Wired Equivalent Privacy (
WEP)
with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (
TKIP)
,
Advanced Encryption Standard (
AES
)/Cipher-Based Message Authentication Code (
CMAC
), and
WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (
WAPI
) security mechanisms.
For the video, voice and multimedia applications the AW-NU173 support
802.11e Quality of
Service
(
QoS).
The AW-NU173 supports
USB
for WLAN to the host processor.
ii. Features
USB interfaces support for WLAN
Multiple power saving modes for low power consumption
IEEE 802.11i for advanced security
Quality of Service (QoS) support for multimedia applications
