Half Size Atheros Dual-Band AR9287 AGN 300M Over AR9280
Atheros Builds on the Success of its Industry-Leading XSPAN? 11n Family
Advanced Integration of 2-stream 11n Designs Enables No-Compromise, Full MIMO Performance in a Wider Array of Wireless Devices
The Atheros AR9287 single-chip PCIe solution for mid-tier notebook and netbook PCs offers greater performance and value over alternative value-class and mid-tier 11n solutions, including 1x2 designs.
Atheros’ new MIMO design for PCs delivers up to 300 Mbps PHY rates in both transmit and receive modes.
With more entry-level and mid-tier notebooks and netbooks supporting peer-to-peer networking
applications, transmit performance is just as important as receive to support simultaneous connections between the PC and a variety of clients. With Atheros Direct Connect? technology, which is forward compatible to the forthcoming Wi-Fi Alliance? P2P standard and featured in all Atheros’ 11n client solutions, notebooks and netbooks can, in effect, establish a direct link with each other without the use of an access point (AP).
Given this newly expanded role in the network, PCs offering symmetrical performance on transmit and receive offer significant benefits over asymmetrical systems. For this reason, Atheros’ entire 11n portfolio now offers symmetrical designs consisting of the Align? 1x1, and XSPAN 2x2 single and dual-band configurations.
