Arcadyan Technology Corporation WN6401CARC ユーザーズマニュアル

 

Introduction

The WN6401C is an IEEE 802.11a/b/g standard compatible MiniPCI PC Card, which

supports high data rate up to 54Mbps (for 802.11a or g)  over the Ethernet speed,

while remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of  802.11b  over

15 million  Wi-Fi systems worldwide. WN6401C  will enable a next generation of

high-data-rate platforms for operation in the 2.4 GHz band that deliver a five-fold

speed increase. In addition, a 30 percent range advantage and lower power

consumption are realized compared to systems operating in the 5 GHz spectrum. The

cost and performance advantages will make it an ideal solution for high bandwidth

enterprise applications, such as wireless video conferencing and large file transfers, as

well as advanced home networking applications such as multi-channel CD-quality

audio and DVD-quality video streaming.  WN6401C incorporates the 802.11g Draft

Standard's 7.0 mandatory modulation schemes— Complementary Code Keying (CCK),

which is used in 802.11b, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM),

used in 802.11g or 11a. Using CCK ensures backward-compatibility with the installed

Wi-Fi  802.11b  base, while OFDM provides the speed required for today's high-

bandwidth applications.
