•
integrated medium access controller (MAC) supports upcoming
IEEE standards and Wi-Fi Alliance initiatives such as Wireless
Multimedia Extensions (WME), 802.11i Security and 802.11e
QoS for built-in future proof designs.
SmartRadio technology improves wireless LAN throughput and
range with advanced signal processing techniques. The all-CMOS
solutions are capable of self-calibrating based on usage
temperature and other environmental conditions, reconfiguring
constantly for optimum performance.
OneDriver™ works with all AirForce™ 802.11a/b/54g solutions,
simplifying the upgrade/update process for customers and end
users. Driver certification and extensive operating system support,
including WHQL certified Microsoft® Windows® drivers for
clients, Zero configuration with Microsoft XP, and embedded
drivers for Linux® and VxWorks®.
Comprehensive security portfolio for both client and AP,
including Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX and CCX 2.0-client
only), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) CERTIFIED,
built-in hardware support for Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) protocol, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) weak key
avoidance, TKIP, and 802.1x.
Performance enhancements including standards-based Xpress™
Technology which increases aggregate bandwidth and improves
overall network performance by up to 75%, and 125 High Speed
Mode™, which further increases throughput and delivers best realworld performance when the technology resides on both client and
AP/Router.
