Introducing the Atheros AR5007EG, our second generation
single-chip IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN solution with support for PCI
Express. Atheros AR5007EG integrates a complete WLAN solution-media
access controller (MAC), baseband processor, and a
high-performance 2.4-GHz radio in a low cost digital CMOS design.
With the highest level of integration, the AR5007EG enables the
entire WLAN solution to fit on a single-sided Mini Card or
ExpressCard design, creating the ideal choice for embedded and
aftermarket WLAN solutions for personal computers. This design
exploits the highly integrated ability of the PCI Express bus
architecture to support high-performance computing with up to
2.5-gigabit-per-second transmit and receive rates – a 150
percent improvement over the existing PCI architecture.
