BCM4318E

Description

The BCM4318E is the third generation of Broadcom's single-chip wireless LAN client solutions, which combine a high-performance 2.4 GHz radio, 802.11a/g baseband processor, medium access controller (MAC) and other radio components onto a single silicon die. This chip integration of BCM4318E reduces the size, cost and power consumption of a wireless LAN module, facilitating more opportunities to integrate the popular 54g technology into networking equipment, PCs, peripherals and consumer electronic devices.

The BCM4318E also features Broadcom's new BroadRange™ technology, a standards-compliant hardware enhancement that extends the range of 54g®-based wireless devices. BCM4318E uses advanced signal processing techniques to provide the industry's best receive sensitivity and optimize transmit power control, enabling Wi-Fi users to maintain high-speed wireless connections at up to 50% further from an access point.
