AR5005VL Technology Overview
Based on Atheros’ VLocity™ High-Performance Wireless Technologies, the
AR5005VL solution is unique in its ability to boost performance on both
ends of a wireless link (multiple input and multiple output), on the
transmit side only (multiple output), or on the receive side only
(multiple input). As a result, home routers, enterprise access points,
or public hot spots that use VLocity deliver higher performance with a
wide array of non-MIMO wireless LAN devices, including end users’
existing network interface cards, laptops with embedded wireless LAN,
and digital media adapters.
The AR5005VL chipset is available in both 802.11g and 802.11a/g
versions, supporting configurations with up to four antennas. These
chipsets deliver up to 50 Mbps of actual user throughput when operating
on both sides of the wireless connection. In mixed networks with
a wide range of different 802.11g products, the Atheros technology
delivers up to 27 Mbps of user throughput across a 3000-square-foot home
even when on just one side of the link.
AR5513 Multi-Radio
Smart Antenna Video Processor
- Integrated video/audio controller support with
direct interfaces, host capability, MPEG and DMA
acceleration to popular HDTV, SDTV, DVR and STB
chipsets
- Supports Multiple DVD-quality (6-8Mbps) or
combination of
HDTV-quality (19-24Mbps) and
DVD-quality wireless connections
- Multiple Radio Smart Antenna support with
Transmit Beamforming
and Receive Combining
- Enhanced Quality of Service with Hardware Packet
Jitter Control,
MPEG Transport Stream
Aggregation, and MPEG Encapsulation
- Hardware accelerated AES encryption provides
security and digital media content protection
- Integrated MIPS R4000-class processor (180 MHz)
- Super AG® support for 108Mbps data links
AR5112 Dual Band
Radio-on-a-Chip
- All CMOS dual band radio chip
- Multiple Radio Smart Antenna Support for Two and
Four Antennas
- Support for IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g
- Operates from 2.300 - 2.500 GHz and 4.900 -
5.850 GHz
- Eliminates all IF filters and most RF filters;
no external voltage-controlled
oscillators (VCOs)
or surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters needed
- Industry-leading receive sensitivity, transmit
power and
multipath tolerance
Super AG Technology
Atheros Super AG for
the highest real world throughput and performance Super G® and
Super AG® technologies offer the highest actual throughput – 1.5 to 2
times faster than standard 802.11g or 802.11a/g products in the wireless
LAN market today – they are ideal for any application requiring
high-speed transmission
*
Theoretical wireless link rate based on applicable IEEE
802.11 standards. Actual user throughput will be lower
than the theoretical link rate and will vary, as network
conditions and environmental factors can lower actual
throughput rate.
Summary of Benefits
- Whole home coverage with multiple radio and
smart antenna
- Interoperable with all 802.11a, 11b, 11g
wireless networks.
Compliant with 802.11 a,b,g,e,h,i,j
- Enhanced Quality of Service with Hardware Packet
Jitter Control,
MPEG Packet Encapsulation,
MPEG-TS Aggregation
- Low-cost, highly-integrated CMOS implementation
