The Atheros AR5008 chipsets are Atheros’ highest performance wireless LAN solutions to date. AR5008 products are compliant to the draft 802.11n specification, to deliver the ultimate wireless triple play experience for video, voice and data transmission throughout the home or office.

Video: With real world throughput levels up to 300 Mbps PHY rate,new wireless routers and gateways featuring Atheros XSPAN with Signal-Sustain Technology™ (SST) will readily accommodate multiple high-definition (HD) streams on a single home network.

Voice: Single-antenna wireless voice handsets and legacy devices networked to Atheros-based access points achieve range and robustness from Atheros’ triple transmitter architecture. Atheros SST increases total transmit power and spatial redundancy, for dropoutfree coverage.

Data: The array of data applications ranging from simple network computing to transmission of large data, music or image files is enhanced through the high bandwidth provided by XSPAN products.
