The Wireless 11b/g/n1T2RMini Card,which canbeusedto
integratewithsuchsystemsas notebook, mini-bareboneandpor-
tablePC.WithWireless11b/g/n1T2RMiniCardembeddedinside,
asystemcouldprovideusers withtheabilityandflexibilitytocon-
nect up toInternetwirelesslyvia 802.11b/g/n1T2R withspeed
upto150 Mbps.
The Wireless 11b/g/n1T2RMini Card istaking advantage of
leading technologiesfromRalink.It addresses WLAN(Wireless
