Introduction
The Mini-PCI Adapter type-III B is a high-speed
54 Mbits/s wireless networking card providing a
multimode 802.11 b/g or 11g mode only
connectivity for enterprise and home wireless
LAN access.
The Mini-PCI Card uses direct sequence
spread spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
technology, and implements DBPSK, DQPSK,
and CCK, OFDM modulation, as defined in the
IEEE® 802.11b, g. This gives a very robust
radio channel, which is made even better by the
excellent receiver sensitivity and delay spread
robustness.
In environments with radio interference, the
Mini-PCI Card, because of its acknowledgment
protocol and its option to be tuned to another
frequency channel, continues to run.
Superior echo path management makes it
suitable for areas with a large delay spread, for
example, warehouses. This reduces the
number of cells required and, therefore,
reduces the total cost of ownership.
A firmware-based architecture is capable of
supporting the latest industry standards in the
security and quality of service (QoS), as the
draft 802.11i and 802.11e standards,
respectively.
The Mini-PCI Card is complemented by drivers
and networking tools for various versions of the
Windows
®
operating system. USI provides
extensive technical documentation on
integration issues such as antenna design,
customizing drivers, and management
software.
