AirPort AR5BXB112 AR9380 PCI-E Card for Apple Mac Pro/Macbook
Description:
- Model: AR5BXB112
- FCC ID: PPD-AR5BXB112
- PHY Model: 802.11a/b/g/n
Product Overview:
AR9380 is the single-chip, dual-band (2.4/5 GHz),
3-stream 11n solution with PCIe interface. It packs the breakthrough
Signal Sustain Technology 3 (SST3) technology that enhances the
rate-over-range (RoR) performance. SST3 is a set of advanced
technologies and features enabled by 802.11n including LDPC, TxBF and
MLD. The end result is an impressive increase in rate-over-range of
~ 100% at short range, ~ 50% at mid range and ~ 25% at long range.
To reduce the manufacturing cost, AR9380 has
successfully integrated external components such as the 2.4/5 GHz LNA
and PA, switching regulators and EEPROMs. It has dramatically reduced
the RBOM and has made the board manufacturing easy and simple.
Despite its mighty
performance and high degree of integration, AR9380 consumes even less
power in every operation mode active TX, active RX, idle associated
and sleep. It keeps the notebook and other computing platforms running
much longer on a single battery-charge, while providing TCP throughput
of more than 300 Mbps when used in 3x3 mode.
AR9380 is also optimized for P2P applications
compliant with Wi-Fi Direct.TM With its Fast Channel Switch (FCS)
feature, the channel switching time between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz is reduced
from 10 ms to as little as 1 ms.
