Product Description
Dual-band Normal Power Module
The BCM43520 normal power WiFi module
series are MIMO 3 x 3 3-streams
802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless networking card
with PCIe mini form factor designed to
implement up to 1.3 Gbps in the 802.11ac
wireless data rate with wider coverage for
high-reliable enterprise and whole home
wireless LAN access.
The advanced MIMO multiplexing technology
design provide more stable connection and
wider coverage than legacy 802.11 products.
This gives a very robust radio channel, which
is made even better by the excellent receiver
sensitivity and delay spread robustness.
A firmware-based architecture is capable of
supporting the latest industry standards in the
security and quality of service (QoS), as the
draft 802.11i and 802.11e (WMMTM)
standards, respectively.
The BCM43460 normal power WiFi module
series achieve the requirement of highreliable enterprise networking with optional
enhanced in-building location and spectral
sensing capablilities.
