3. Introduction
The WU260 is a Draft IEEE802.11n-compatible USB module in a 2x2 MIMO configuration and operating in the 2.4 and
5GHz ISM band. This module allows an embedded host to use its USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface to connect to a Draft
IEEE802.11n compatible access point at unprecedented speeds.
The WU260 USB module is based on Broadcom’s BCM4323 65nm chipset. It provides greater than 100Mbps real world
throughput using high-speed spatial multiplexing modes. Configuration and testing of this module must be done on the host via
Broadcom provided software tools..
4. Features
• USB v2.0 compatible.
• Board-to-Board connector to the host PCB’s needs.
• Backward compatible with USB v1.1.
• Draft IEEE 802.11n version 2.0 compatible.
• Backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g standards.
• Wire-free access to networked resources from anywhere beyond the TV.
• Delivers data rate up to 300 Mbps.
• 802.11n: Dynamically shifts among 130, 117, 104, 78, 52, 39, 26 and 13Mbps in a 20MHz bandwidth and 270, 243,
216, 162, 108, 81, 54 and 27Mbps in a 40MHz bandwidth, based on signal strength, for maximum availability and
reliability of connection.
• 802.11a/g: Dynamically shifts among 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9 and 6 Mbps network speed, based on signal strength,
for maximum availability and reliability of connection.
• 802.11b: Dynamically shifts among 11M, 5.5M, 2M, and 1 Mbps network speed, based on signal strength, for
maximum availability and reliability of connection.
• Uses 2.4 and 5GHz frequency band, which complies with worldwide non-license bands.
• Ensures great security by providing the 64/128 bits Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access
• Protected Access (WPA) defined in the IEEE standard.

9.1 W arnin g statement
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea sonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential in stallation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not i nstalle d a nd u s ed in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, w h ich
can be determined by turni n g the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not ca use harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to channels 1
through 11.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and use rs, and
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation chan ne ls in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band by
supplied firmware programm i ng tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to
Regulatory Domain change.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM
integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements
required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements,
etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer
considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a
separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device w h ere the antenna may be installed such that
20 cm may be maintained between the antenna a n d use r s. The final end product must be labeled in a
visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: MDZSV422XVT-WL”.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to prov i de information to the end user regarding how to install or
remove this RF module in the user’ s manual of the end product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop
