Unex’s AR9382 2T2R Mini PCIe: 802.11n a/b/g 2x2 mimo PCIe mini card (DNXA-116)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 3, 2011 -- Unex Technology Corporation, the professional wireless networking manufacturer providing integrated technology service of WiFi Module / Client, WiFi Access Point / Router, and Antenna to ASD (application specific device) manufacturers, telecom operators, and OEM/ODM customers with expertise second to none, announced shipment of DNXA-116: an 802.11n a/b/g wifi 2x2 2-stream PCIe mini card with Atheros AR9382 chipset solution designed to propel the industry forwarding and diverse needs of both consumer and enterprise applications.

Atheros’ Signal-Sustain Technology (SST) enhances rate-over-range performance to reach an impressive increase in rate-over-range of ~+100% at short range, ~+50% at mid range and ~+25% at long range.

Despite its mighty performance, DNXA-116 consumes even less power in every operation mode – active TX, active RX, idle associated and sleep than the previous generation solution. It keeps the notebook and other computing platforms running much longer on a single battery-charge, while providing TCP throughput of more than 200 Mbps when used in 2x2 mode. With Atheros’ Fast Channel Switch (FCS) feature, the channel switching time between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands is reduced from 10 ms to as little as 1 ms. Setting new standards in throughput, range, reliability, and power consumption, DNXA-116 delivers the ultimate wireless triple play experience for video, voice, and data transmission in the home, for the business, and on the road.

Key Features of DNXA-116: 802.11n a/b/g wifi 2x2 PCIe half-mini card, HB116/AR9382:
1. The smallest dual-band PCIe interface in 2Tx/2Rx design is ideal for embedding into ultra-compact devices or embed additional mini cards with complimentary technologies.
2. Dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n supports 2Tx/2Rx 2-stream MIMO to enable PHY data rate up to 300Mbps link rate for 40MHz channel, six times the throughput of 802.11a and 802.11g.

3. Supports TxBF (Transmit Beam Forming, sometimes refer to as “smart antenna technology”) to increase the average received signal power by the client, improve range of a wifi system and indirectly improve throughput.
4. Signal-Sustain Technology (SST) support increases rate-over-range ~+100% at short range, ~+50% at mid. range, and ~+25% at long range.
5. Dynamic MIMO Power Save supports 1x1 downshift to lower power consumption.
Supports 5/10/20/40MHz channel to maximize bandwidth efficiency.
6. Windows XP/Vista/7 and ath9k drivers enable manufacturers to quickly and easily bring new bandwidth intensive applications to market with trouble-free WiFi integration.
7. Linux driver source code sub-license available by project.

8. 802.11n compliance effectively interoperates with other chipsets.
9. Seamless roaming cross 802.11n, 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g in Access Point covered distance.
10. Supports IEEE 802.11a/802.11b/802.11g backward compatibility allowing inter-operability among multiple wifi networks.
11. Supports 802.11x authentication, WPA, WEP-64, WEP-128, WEP-152 and 128-bit AES/TKIP encryption.
12. Two Hirose U.FL antenna connectors enable transmit and receive diversity for flexible 2x2 MIMO design.
13. RoHS compliance meets environment-friendly requirement.
