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.

Product Specification

Federal Communication Commission Interference St atement

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 reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used 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, which can be determined by turning 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.
