Product Specification
Chapter 1 Introduction
1. Introduction
WN4403A is an industrial miniPCI Card which enables wireless networking systems to attain
data transmission speeds at least up to 54 megabits-per-second (Mbps), while remaining
backward compatible to the existing installed base of over 15 million Wi-Fi systems
worldwide. The product must be RoHS compliant and supports operation to both the IEEE
802.11b and IEEE 802.11g standards.
WN4403A 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. It is fully IEEE 802.11g standard
compliant, and uses prioritization algorithms and enhanced protection mechanisms to
significantly increase pure 802.11g as well as mixed-mode network performance. 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. WN4403A incorporates the 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. 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.
