WAPN001 User’s Manual
Introduction
Overview
WAPN001Mini-PCI Module is designed to provide wireless communication for all wireless device based
systems. It communicates via the standard 802.11a/b/g/n protocols. The WAPN001 uses the AR9220 wireless
chipset from Atheros. This module is connected to the PCI bus through a Mini-PCI connector and special
circuitry to allow for compatibility with either 3.3V or 5V PCI signaling.
