1. General Description

1.1. RTL8723BE

The Realtek RTL8723BE is a highly integrated single-chip 802.11n Wireless LAN (WLAN) PCI Express
network interface controller with integrated Bluetooth 2.1/3/0/4.0 USB interface controller. It combines a
WLAN MAC, a 1T1R capable WLAN baseband, and RF in s single chip. The RTL8723BE provides a
complete solution for a high-performance integrated wireless and Bluetooth device.

The integration provides better coordination between 802.11 and Bluetooth, and with sophisticated dynamic
power control and packet traffic arbitration, RTL8723BE is able to provide the best coexistence performance.

RTL8723BE also integrates RF/PA/LNA for both 802.11n and Bluetooth so that the number of external
components is reduced to minimum. The 802.11 part supports 150Mbps PHY rate and delivers reliable
throughput from an extended distance.

The Bluetooth part supports latest 3.0+HS/4.0+LE operation and provides smooth user experience under all
usage scenarios. Optimized RF architecture and baseband algorithms provide superb performance and lowest
power consumption.
