802.11b/g MIMO XR® Wireless MiniPCI Card

The WCM5202 is an IEEE802.11b/g standard mini PCI card
that connects your notebook to a wireless local area. With
MRC (Maximal Ratio Combining) technique, The WCM5202
better expands the transmitting distance and efficiently
eliminates wireless connection dead spots compared with
normal 802.11b/g products. Moreover, the Burst
transmission mode also accelerates the throughput and
improves the actual transmission rate.

The WCM5202 is a very small card that can fit into any
notebook, handheld or desktop computer equipped with a
Mini PCI (Type III B slot) interface for wireless network
applications. It allows you to take full advantage of your notebook’s mobility with access to real­time information and online services anytime and anywhere. It slides easily into the MINI PCI
expansion slot to enable a wireless connection to your network.
