This SX-PCEAN PCI Express module supports the rapidly emerging 802.11n standard, which was designed for substantially improving the performance of wireless LAN (WLAN) networks. The SX-PCEAN features two stream MIMO technology and 40 MHz band width mode with throughput up to 300 Mbps, five times as fast as the current 802.11a/g wireless LAN standards.

As an Atheros Authorized Design Center (AADC), Silex Technology America has the experience and expertise to provide all of the services necessary to enable embedded wireless networking in virtually any type product.

 

Each card is individually tested and inspected to ensure the industry’s highest quality resulting greater performance and reliability. The SX-PCEAN is designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of critical embedded applications.
