1. Introduction
The AECO AWM-S0021M/H Product Provides the highest level of integration and most
Aggressive BOM cost by integrating IEEE 802.11b/g and Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR into a single
MAC/Baseband chip utilizing a single 2.4GHz transceiver. Integrated on-chip power amplifier
and LNA reduce external component count, while still able to deliver ample transmit power for
most applications.
Different from any other wireless LAN and Bluetooth chip set vendor, SYNTEK and 3DSP
Uses its patented Software Radio technology to implement both wireless LAN and Bluetooth in
Software. The highly optimized software radio DSP technology enables AWM-S0021M/H to
Integrate class 1 Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR function without any added cost to the total solution.
No extra antenna, PA, RF transceiver, resistor, capacitor, crystal or any components are
needed. The software solution even guarantees the Bluetooth RF performance if the wireless
LAN Performance is tested to be good. It eliminates the need for system manufacturers to
Separately test the module’s Bluetooth RF performance, therefore reduce the testing time and cost.
The AWM-S0021M/H utilizes 3DSP’s patent pending technologies to fundamentally solve the
Interference and performance issues existed during 802.11b/g and Bluetooth coexistence,
Thus improving both 802.11b/g and Bluetooth performance and link stability in real
environment. As a result, it enhances user experience in a totally wireless environment,
where all devices are connected wirelessly through either Bluetooth link or 802.11b/g link.
The single installation package allows for easy setup and configuration of both 802.11b/g and
Bluetooth devices. Combined user interface is intuitive to use. Once configured, both wireless
links operate transparently in the background.
