miniPCI (Note 1) is a complete
wireless high speed Network
Interface Card (NIC) utilizing the Intersil PRISM Indigo chip set.
It provides a complete PRISM Indigo 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 a WLAN miniPCI card and a WLAN
CARDBUS32 card designed to Intersil鈥檚 PRISM reference
design, Microsoft廬 Windows廬 Driver, Local Area Network
evaluation software, Test Utilities (Note 3), and
documentation to get your evaluation started quickly. It
supports the IEEE 802.11a specification, providing data
rates of 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and 6 Mbps. Access Points
are available from a number of suppliers, enabling a total
wireless network solution. Typical operating ranges are
shown in Table 1.
A complete PRISM chipset WLAN reference design package
(ISL37704M-CD) is also available. The reference design
package contains all the documentation needed for
manufacturing of the PRISM Indigo miniPCI wireless
network card including: Cadence/Allegro Layout, Gerber
files, Concept schematic, Bill of Materials, assembly and
mechanical drawings, manufacturing test software, and even
a copy of the application for FCC equipment authorization.
Customers who license the reference design also receive
password access to Intersil鈥檚 Premier Web site for up to the
minute updates on hardware and software.
