Introduction

1.1 Overview

Azurewave AW-NU221 USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter is a highly integrated
wireless local area network (WLAN) solution to let users enjoy the digital
content through the latest wireless technology without using extra cables
and cords. It provides easy-to-use, high performance, cost effective and
low power solution. Moreover, AW-NU221 enables compatible high-
speed wireless connectivity within home, business and public access
wireless networks.
Compliant with the IEEE 802.11n/g/b standard, AW-NU221 uses Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation
technologies. When you are using AW-NU221, a high level of integration
and full implementation of the power management functions specified in
the IEEE 802.11 standard can minimize system power requirements.
The AW-NU221 802.11n/g/b Wireless USB Adapter is a convenient Plug &
Play solution and provides up to 128-bit level of WEP security to your
wireless data transfers. It is able to run in the operating systems of
Windows XP/Vista in either Infrastructure mode or Ad-Hoc mode.
Comparing to previous wireless technology, AW-NU221 got great
improvements on speed and range. The wireless range increased up to
two times wider and coverage area reduced the situation of dead spots.
"Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology uses signal reflections to
increase the range and maintain wireless connections up to five times
farther; therefore, with MIMO, AW-NU221 is able to double the data rate
up to 150Mbps (none security and WPA/WPA2-AES).
