Atheros XSPAN® Technology
Expanding performance. Expanding possibilities.
The Atheros AR5008 chipsets are Atheros’ highest performance
wireless LAN solutions to date. AR5008 products are compliant to the
draft 802.11n specification, to deliver the ultimate wireless triple
play experience for video, voice and data transmission throughout the
home or office.
Video: With real world throughput levels up to 300 Mbps PHY rate,
new wireless routers and gateways featuring Atheros XSPAN technology
will readily accommodate multiple high-definition (HD) streams on a
single home network.
Voice: Single-antenna wireless voice handsets and legacy devices
networked to Atheros-based access points achieve range and robustness
from Atheros’ triple transmitter architecture.
Data: The array of data applications ranging from simple network
computing to transmission of large data, music or image files is
enhanced through the high bandwidth provided by XSPAN products.
Product Overview
With the introduction of new bandwidth intensive applications and growth
of Gigabit Ethernet ports, there is increasing demand for wireless LAN
throughput. Featuring the Atheros AR5008-2NG and AR5008AP-2NG, our first
2.4 GHz IEEE draft 802.11n WLAN solutions.
The Atheros AR5008-2NG and AR5008AP-2NG dramatically increase the
overall throughput of the wireless LAN by supporting link rates as high
as 300 Mbps - an improvement of nearly six times the throughput of
standard 802.11g.
The AR5008-2NG and AR5008AP-2NG are interoperable with standard 802.11b
and 802.11g devices and fully support industry standard compliant
security and Quality of Service (QoS). Full reference design
support is available.Solution Highlights
