WLAN 22Mbps MiniPCI Card
1.Product General Information
1.1.Product Description
GL2422MP, the wireless Ethernet adapter for mini PCI type IIIB compliant notebook PCs, set-top box and integrated device, is fully compatible with IEEE 802.11b standard and supporting higher data rate to 22Mbps. Using Direct Sequence spread spectrum technology for immunity from interference, it will automatically fallback to lower data rate in the environment of interference.
22Mbps data rate is designed by the Packet Binary Convolution Code (PBCC) modulation technique. The software supports Windows OS such as Win98, Win2000, Win ME, and Win XP. The Mini PCI card for any integrated device is designed with U.FL or MMCX connector to conduce high performance for integrated product.
