BCM94318
®
AIRFORCE ONE™ CHIP 802.11 REFERENCE DESIGN
KEY FEATURES
•
Industry's smallest IEEE 802.11b/g solution makes wireless
•
LAN connectivity practical for pocket-sized electronic devices.
Extreme integration includes radio, baseband, MAC, and all
other radio frequency (RF) components found on a typical
wireless LAN board—making small mobile devices easier, less
expensive and faster to manufacture.
Innovative power management reduces power consumption by
up to 97% in standby mode, providing greatly extended battery
life for mobile devices.
Cost-effective architecture with single-sided, all-CMOS design
eliminates over 100 components, providing more affordable
wireless connectivity for consumer electronics.
High-performance features standard across the AirForce
product line:
•
OneDriver™
•
SmartRadio™
•
WPA, WPA2
•
Cisco
