    802.11n Wireless CardBus 

Chapter 1 Introduction 

 
 

1.1 Welcome 

 
ZEW1542 connects you with IEEE802.11n(Draft 2.0) networks at receiving rate up to an 
incredible 300Mbps! By using the reflection signal, 802.11n's “Multiple In, Multiple Out” 
(MIMO)  technology  increases  the  range  and  reduces  “dead  spots”  in  the  wireless 
coverage  area.  Unlike  ordinary  wireless  networking  of  802.11b/g  standards  that  are 
confused by wireless reflections, MIMO can actually use these reflections to increase four 
times transmission range of 802.11g products. Besides, when both ends of the wireless 
link  are  802.11n  products,  MIMO  technology  can  utilize  twice  radio  band  to  increase 
three times transmission speed of ordinary 802.11g standard products, and can comply 
with backwards 802.11b/802.11g standards.                                                           

 

Soft  AP  supported  by  ZEW1542  can  help  you  establish  wireless  LAN  networking  with 
lowest  cost.  Besides,  WPS  (PBC  and  PIN)  encryption  method  can  free  you  from 
remembering the long passwords. Complete WMM function makes your voice and video 
more smooth.
