CM10-H(MMCX): high power 802.11 a/b/g wifi mini-PCI module, AR5414A, (2 x MMCX)

CM10-H (MMCX) is a high power 600mW(28dBm) IEEE802.11a/b/g 108Mbps wifi mini-PCI module with two MMCX RF connectors designed specifically for integration in reliability/performance-critical applications. High power design with advanced SuperAG feature, CM10-H (MMCX) is ideal for embedding into super-range and high-speed applications such as outdoor point to point or building to building wireless Access Point/Bridge connections.

Optional WinCE 4.2/5.0 drivers enable ASD manufacturers to provide products that enjoy improved innovation and time to market through trouble-free WiFi integration.

 

 

 

Key Features

  • Average power up to 200mW (23dBm) and peak power up to 600mW (28dBm) on both 802.11a and 802.11b/g modes provide superior wifi coverage.
  • Two MMCX antenna design can be configured through software to use one high gain 2.4GHz at antenna port 1 and another 5GHz high gain antenna at antenna port 2, the perfect alternative solution to replace high cost dual band high gain antenna.   
  • Two MMCX antenna connectors enable robust assembly and support antenna diversity.
  • PA fine-tuning gains balance of linearity and power consumption with enough margin while maintaining adequate Tx power to ensure no major performance degradation over time. 
  • Mini-PCI Type IIIA form factor with screw hole is ideal for solid mounting onto motherboard.
  • Supported by MADWiFi providing Linux kernel drivers for industrial, academic, or personal projects at highest flexibility and lowest cost. 
  • Atheros Linux driver source code sub-license available by project.
  • Windows 2000/XP/NT4.0/Vista/7 drivers and site survey function provide immediate 11a/b/g wifi and management capability.
  • Optional WinCE4.2/5.0 drivers assure trouble-free WiFi integration.
  • Supports universal 802.11a/11g/11b auto fallback data rate and seamless roaming among 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g multiple AP wifi networks. 
  • Super AG® supports data rate up to 108Mbps in 802.11a and 802.11g super mode.
  • Future support of 802.11d (Regulatory Domain), 802.11e (Quality of Service, WMM), and 802.11h (TPC/DFS/DFS2) by software upgrade.   
  • Supports 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, IEEE 802.1x authentication, AES & TKIP, and CCX3.0 encryption.
  • Heat sink design provides reliable high power RF performance.
  • RoHS compliance meets environment-friendly requirement.
