3. Introduction
The WU260-A1-AM is a Draft IEEE802.11n-compatible USB module in a 2x2 MIMO
configuration and operating in the 2.4 and 5GHz ISM band. This module allows an
embedded host to use its USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface to connect to a Draft IEEE802.11n
compatible access point at unprecedented speeds.
The WU260-A1-AM USB module is based on Broadcom’s BCM4323 65nm chipset. It
provides greater than 100Mbps 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..
4. Features

network speed, based on signal strength, for maximum availability and reliability
of connection.
• 802.11b: Dynamically shifts among 11M, 5.5M, 2M, and 1 Mbps network speed,
based on signal strength, for maximum availability and reliability of connection.
• Uses 2.4 and 5GHz frequency band, which complies with worldwide non-license
bands.
• Ensures great security by providing the 64/128 bits Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) and WiFi Protected Access
• Protected Access (WPA) defined in the IEEE standard.

FCC Statement:
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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 gene rates, 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 equipm ent 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.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of
other channels is not possible.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation i n conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted in indoor
environment only.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC
compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module.
20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the users for the
host this module is integrated into. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's
authority to operate this equipment.
USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT:
In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20cm
separation with the antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be
informed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be
satisfied. The end user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. If the size of
the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is required to be
available in the users manual: This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause ha rmful interference and (2) this d evice
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID:
N89-WU260A1 ". If the size of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then the following FCC part
15.19 statement has to also be available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
