Radio Characteristics
Radio Characteristics of Wireless LAN Cards may vary according to:
country/region where the product was purchased
Type of product
Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations. Although Wireless LAN Wireless networking
products have been designed for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz band, local radio regulations may impose
a number of limitations to the use of wireless communication equipment.
NOTE: Refer to the flyer "Information to the User” for regulatory information that may apply in your
country/region.
R-F Frequency -Band2.4GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision B, G)
Modulation Technique -DSSS-CCK, DSSS-DQPSK, DSSS-DBPSK (Revision B)
-OFDM-BPSK, OFDM-QPSK, OFDM-16QAM, OFDM-64QAM
(Revision G,)
The range of the wireless signal is related to the Transmit Rate of the wireless communication.
Communications at lower Transmit range may travel larger distances.
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and
solid high-density materials.
Range is also impacted due to “obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect
the radio signal.
Supported Frequency Sub-bands
Subject to the radio regulations that apply in your country, your Wireless LAN Card may support a different set
of 2.4GHz channels.
Consult your Authorized Wireless LAN or TOSHIBA Sales office for information about the radio regulations
that apply in your country/region.
