5 WLAN F UNCTIONAL D ESCRIPTION
5.1 Overview
The 60-SIPT series SiP module is designed based on the Marvell 88W8997 802.11ac/a/b/g/n chipset. It is
optimized for high speed, reliable, and low-power embedded applications. It’s integrated with dual-band WLAN
(2.4/5GHz) and Bluetooth 4.2. Its functionality includes:
 Improved throughput on the link due to frame aggregation, RIFS (reduced inter-frame spacing), and half
guard intervals.
 Support for STBC (Space Time Block Codes) and LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) codes.
 Improved 11n performance due to features such as 11n frame aggregation (A-MPDU and A-MSDU) and
low-overhead host-assisted buffering (RX A-MSDU and RX A-MPDU). These techniques can improve
performance and efficiency of applications involving large bulk data transfers such as file transfers or high-
resolution video streaming.
 IEEE 802.11 ac (Wave 2), 2X2 receive Multi-User MIMIO (MU-MIMO) spatial stream multiplexing with data
rate up to MCS9 (866.7Mbps).
Additional functionality is listed in the following table (Table 4).
