The BCM4318/BCM4318E provide One Chip IEEE 802.11g MAC, Baseband, and Direct Conversion Radio functions to provide wireless LAN connectivity supporting data rates from 1 Mbps to 54 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band. With the addition of the BCM2060, the solution can also support 802.11a for 1-Mbps to 54-Mbps connectivity in the 5-GHz band. In addition, the BCM4318E includes leading-edge Encore DSP technology for best-in-class receive sensitivity and extended range, enabling whole home coverage. The BCM4318E also supports high-speed performance mode (125-Mbps) that is backward compatible with standard 802.11b/g.
