SparkLAN Introduces First 3T3R 450Mbps Wi-Fi Mini PCIe Cards with Atheros AR9300 Family

SparkLAN WPEA-127N (Atheros AR9380) and WPEA-127NI (Atheros AR9390) Mini Cards, embedded with the latest Atheros AR9300 Chipset Family, based on Atheros XSPAN with Signal Sustain Technology-3 (SST3). They support 3T3R (3 transmit 3 receive) MIMO technology, which delivers superior throughput up to 450Mbps and improves the overall Wi-Fi coverage area.



The two Mini Cards are suitable for Wi-Fi applications demanding robust wireless transmission, such as high-end Wi-Fi applications (mesh network, wireless monitor, and high-end notebook and PC) or digital home networking equipment (access point, router, set-top box, and gateway). The WPEA-127NI, which can operate under severe weather condition (-40 ~ 80℃), is especially designed for industrial-grade application, such as industrial PC.



Incorporating with advanced security encryption, such as 64/128-bits WEP, WPA, and WPA2, the two Mini Cards helps to prevent users’ devices from malicious attacks. With Atheros Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (UAPSD) solution, the Wi-Fi function of the devices embedded with WPEA-127N and WPEA-127NI can be in sleep mode more often and longer to achieve significant power efficiency.
