Atheros AR5008-2NX and AR5008AP-2NX 2.4/5 GHz client and access point solutions

2.4/5 GHz client and access point solutions provide up to 300 Mbps throughput for maximum network bandwidth.

Product Overview:
With the introduction of new bandwidth intensive applications and growth of Gigabit Ethernet ports, there is increasing demand for wireless LAN throughput. Featuring the Atheros AR5008-2NX and AR5008AP-2NX, our first 2.4/5 GHz IEEE draft 802.11n WLAN solutions. The Atheros AR5008-2NX and AR5008AP-2NX dramatically increase the overall throughput of the wireless LAN by supporting link rates as high as 300 Mbps - an improvement of nearly six times the throughput of standard 802.11a or 802.11g.

The AR5008-2NX and AR5008AP-2NX are interoperable with standard 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g devices and fully support industry standard compliant security and Quality of Service (QoS).
