Thanks to advanced security functions which are integrated and thanks to the troughput of the protocol
IEE802.11G you are going to have a fast and flexible wireless net, hacker safe.
The chipsets fully support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and the IEEE 802.11i draft security
standards in hardware and high-speed encryption engines for both the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with no performance degradation.
Last, but not least, this product implements Atheros Super G™ (available for devices with chipset
Atheros) capabilities to deliver 108 Mbps raw data rates and 90 Mbps TCP/IP throughput for 802.11g
wireless LANs (Real-time hardware data compression, Dynamic transmit and modulation optimization
