AR9380 is the single-chip, dual-band(2.4/5 GHZ), 3-stream
11n solution with PCI-E interface. It packs the breakthrough signal.
Sustain Technology 3(SST3) technology that enhances the
rate-over-range (RoR) performance. SST3 is a set of advanced technologies
and features enabled by 802.11n including LDPC, TxBF and MLD.
The end result is an impressive increase in
rate-over-range of ~+100% at short range, ~+50% at mid range at long range.
To reduce the manufacturing cost, AR9380 has
successfully integrated external components such as the 2.4/5 GHz LNA and
PA, switching regulators and EEPROMs. It has dramatically reduced the RBOM
and has made the board manufacturing easy and simple.
Despite its mighty performance and high degree of
integration, AR9380 consume even less power in every operation mode? active
TX, active RX, idle associated and sleep. It keeps the notebook and other
computing platforms running much longer on a single battery-charger, while
providing TCP throughput of more than 300 Mbps when used in 3x3 mode.
AU9380 is also optimized for P2P applications compliant
with Wi-Fi Direct. TM with its Fast Channel Switch (FCS) feature. the
channel switching time between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz is reduce from 10ms to as
little as 1ms.
