1. General Description

1-1. Product Overview and Functional Description

AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n 1X1 WLAN & Bluetooth module -

-- AW-CM299. The module is targeted to mobile devices including Notebook, TV, Tablet and Gaming
Device which need small package module, low power consumption, multiple interfaces and OS support.

By using AW-CM299, the customers can easily enable the Wi-Fi, and BT embedded applications with
the benefits of high design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick time-to-market.
Compliance with the IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n standard, the AW-CM299 uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK and
QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of the power
management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements
by using AW-CM286NF. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 and WEP 64-bit and 128-bit
encryption, the AW-CM299 also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through the implementation
of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP), Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES)/Cipher-Based Message Authentication Code (CMAC), and WLAN Authentication and Privacy
Infrastructure (WAPI) security mechanisms.
For the video, voice and multimedia applications the AW-CM286NF support 802.11e Quality of Service
(QoS). The device also supports 802.11h Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for detecting radar
pulses when operating in the 5GHz range.
For Bluetooth operation, AW-CM299 is Bluetooth 4.2 (supports Low Energy).
AW-CM299 supports SDIO for WLAN and BT to the host processor.
AW-CM299 module adopts Marvell’s latest highly-integrated dual-band WLAN & Bluetooth SoC--­88W8887. All the other components are implemented by all means to reach the mechanical specification
required.
