Chapter 1
Introduction
Thank you for using the Wireless USB Module. RT3572-A-IN is a
dual-band, quad-mode wireless network adapter that works on all the
frequencies allocated for WLAN operation everywhere in the world. It is in
compliance with the Draft IEEE802.11n standard in a 2x2 MIMO
configuration. It also complies with the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11g, and
802.11b standards. RT3572-A-IN features the compactness and high bus
speed of the USB specifications which gives users of laptops, notebooks,
tablet PCs, and other mobile computing devices transparent Internet
access anywhere in the world through any Wi-Fi network without software
changes or additional hardware.
Able to provide greater than 100Mbps real world throughput using
high-speed spatial multiplexing modes, RT3572-A-IN provides the freedom
to work as you wish, wherever you wish, using whatever kind of application
you wish to use. The adapter installs directly in any host device with a USB
slot: just plug it in and you’re ready to access local resources and/or the
Internet at the highest speed the WLAN, the location, and the host computer can provide. It is ready to work “out of the box” in any embedded
device or in any computer running Microsoft® Windows 2000, or XP.
RT3572-A-IN USB Module is truly a “must-have” for every
productivity-sensitive laptop, notebook, or tablet PC user and any
bandwidth-sensitive embedded design.
