1. Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

The "WLP-01 IEEE 802.11b/g PCI-E X1 54Mbps Wireless Card" (short for "WLP-01" in
this manual) is an easy-to-use wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter designed for home
or office use.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Complementary Code Keying (CCK), and
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) base band processing are implemented to
support all IEEE 802.11b, and 802.11g data rates. Differential phase shift keying modulation
schemes, DBPSK and DQPSK with data scrambling capability, are available, along with
complementary code keying to provide data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps, with long or short
preamble.
A high-speed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)/Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) combined
with BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM modulation of the individual sub-carriers provides data
rates of 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54Mbps, with rate-compatible punctured convolution
coding with a coding rate of 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.
To provide efficient security to your wireless computing, the WLP-01 employs hardware-based
IEEE 802.11i encryption/decryption engine, including 64-bit/128-bit WEP, TKIP, and AES,
supporting Wi-Fi alliance WPA and WPA2 security.
With these features and many more, abit WLP-01 connects you to the wireless computing
world.
