WildCard, ADM8262 is the latest addition to Infineon's family of high
speed wireless NIC controllers. Designed for 802.11a/b/g wireless
client and server applications, WildCard caters to PCI, mini-PCI and
Cardbus interfaces.
With low power consumption, hard-wired compact size and the
flexibility to adapt to a variety of RF designs, system designers can
easily incorporate WildCard into a wide range of wireless applications.
With minimal CPU utilization, support for multiple operating systems
including Windows Native WiFi and Antenna Diversity design, WildCard
delivers low cost solutions for high-speed wireless applications.
Combined with Infineon's Dual Band RF/PA technology, a complete
end-to-end, 802.11a/b/g wireless solution can be realized.
