Toshiba Satellite 1400 1405 1410 1415 Wireless Card

BCM4318
AirForce One? Single-Chip 802.11g Transceiver with BroadRange? Technology

The BCM4318 is the third generation of Broadcom's single-chip wireless LAN client solutions, which combine a high-performance 2.4 GHz radio, 802.11g baseband processor, medium access controller (MAC) and other radio components onto a single silicon die. This high level of chip integration reduces the size, cost and power consumption of a wireless LAN module, facilitating more opportunities to integrate the popular 54g technology into networking equipment, PCs, peripherals and consumer electronic devices.

The BCM4318 also features Broadcom's new BroadRange? technology, a standards-compliant hardware enhancement that extends the range of 54g?-based wireless devices. It uses advanced signal processing techniques to provide the industry's best receive sensitivity and optimize transmit power control, enabling Wi-Fi users to maintain high-speed wireless connections at up to 50% further from an access point.

• First client solution to include BroadRange technology, extending the range of wireless devices.
• Offers industry's best receive sensitivity (Greater than -73dBm at 54 Mbps)
• Reduces transmit power by 30% to extend the battery life of today's Wi-Fi devices and enable a variety of new Wi-Fi platforms with strict power requirements.
• Supports 125 High Speed Mode? and SecureEZSetup? software, Broadcom's industry-leading performance and ease-of-use features (but partners have the option of implementing these features).
