4
Chapter 1 Introduction
1. Introduction
WN8522B 4 is a dual band wireless 802.11n USB Adapter which enables wireless
networking systems to attain data communication speeds up to 300 megabits-per-second
(Mbps), while remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of Wi-Fi systems
worldwide. It supports operation to the IEEE 802.11a/b and IEEE 802.11g ,and draft IEEE
802.11n standards.
WN8522B 4 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. 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. It is compatible with 802.11g standard's mandatory
modulation schemes—Complementary Code Keying (CCK), which is used in 802.11b, and
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), used in 802.11g and draft 802.11n.
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.
