1 <Product Overview>
MPX-8188 IEEE 802.11 b/g/n PCIE WIFI module is a highly integrated wireless local
area network (WLAN) solution to let users enjoy the digital content through the latest
wireless technology without using the extra cables and cords. It enables a high
performance, cost effective, low power, compact solution that easily fits onto two
sides of the PCI Express half mini Card.
Compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard, MPX-8188 uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK,
CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies.
Compare to 802.11g technology, 802.11n standard makes big improvement on speed and
range.
Faster Speed: WLAN up to 150Mbps data rate.
MPX-8188 module adopts Realtek RTL8188EE solution. The module design is based
on the Realtek RTL8188EEsolution
