Atheros Communications Introduces Industry’s First Single-Chip PCI Express(TM) Compliant Wireless LA

With this high level of integration, the AR5006EX and AR5006EG enable the entire WLAN solution to fit on a single-sided mini card or ExpressCard design, creating the ideal choice for aftermarket and embedded WLAN solutions for personal computers. These designs exploit the ability of the PCI Express bus architecture to support high-performance computing with up to 2.5-gigabit-per-second transmit and receive rates-a 150 percent improvement over the existing PCI architecture.
