2 PRODUCT INTRODCUTION

The WM141 is a Draft IEEE802.11n-compatible half miniCard module in a 2x2 configuration and

operating in the 2.4GHz band. This module allows an embedded host to use its PCI-E base 1.1

compatible interface to connect to a Draft IEEE802.11n compatible access point at unprecedented

speeds.

The WM141 half miniCard module is based on Atheros’s AR9283 chipset. It provides greater than

150Mbps real world throughput using high-speed spatial multiplexing modes. Configuration and testing of

this module must be done on the host via Broadcom provided software tools.
