PRISM廬 3 11 Mbps Wireless Local Area
Network miniPCI
The Intersil ISL37200M WLAN miniPCI
(Note 1) is a complete wireless high
speed Network Interface Card (NIC)
utilizing the Intersil PRISM廬 3 Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Wireless Transceiver chip set. It provides a complete PRISM 3
reference design evaluation platform of hardware and software
to system providers or integrators requiring wireless data
communications capability and is ideal for integration into
computer platforms.
Evaluation kits include one WLAN miniPCI card and one
PCMCIA designed to Intersil鈥檚 PRISM reference design,
Microsoft廬 Windows廬 Driver, Local Area Network evaluation
software, PRISM Transmitter Test Utilities (PTTU) software
(Note 3) and documentation to get your evaluation started
quickly. It supports the IEEE 802.11 network specification for
DSSS signaling, providing data rates of 1, 2, 5.5 and
11Mbps. Access Points are available from a number of
suppliers, enabling a total wireless network solution. Typical
operating ranges are shown in Table 1.
