Ar9002Wb-1Ngb: Industry'S First 1-Stream 11N Pcie and Bluetooth Combo Solution
Product Overview
Industry’s first 1-stream 11n & Bluetooth design on Half-Mini Card
With the growing demand for both WLAN and Bluetooth in portable PCs,
AR9002WB-1NGB
Atheros has developed the industry’s first 1-stream 11n plus Bluetooth
combo solution on a Half-Mini Card. The AR9002WB-1NGB delivers the
11n performance of Atheros Align’s AR9285, the popular single-chip 11n
1-stream PCIe solution featured in notebooks and netbooks of seven
of the top 10 PC OEMs (as of Q309). This market-leading 11n solution Industry’s First 1-stream 11n PCIe
combines with Atheros’ Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR solution optimized for PCs,
which is upgradeable to Bluetooth 3.0. and Bluetooth Combo Solution
Atheros Universal Wireless Cooperation™
Atheros new WLAN and Bluetooth combo solution goes beyond coex-
istence to enable cooperation between WLAN, Bluetooth and even 3G
technologies co-located on PC platforms. To support this new level of
radio coexistence, Atheros has engineered a suite of advanced wireless
techniques to deliver Atheros Universal Wireless Cooperation, consisting
of channel protection and timesharing mechanisms, custom 3G
coexistence optimization, and Atheros’ proprietary WLAN/Bluetooth
Coexistence Agent.™
