USB network card wireless network device

The SYNTEK STA-UI-A0050 product provides the highest level of integration and most aggressive BOM cost by integrating IEEE 802.11b/g and Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR into a single MAC/Baseband chip utilizing a single 2.4GHz transceiver. Integrated on-chip power amplifier and LNA reduce external component count, while still able to deliver ample transmit power for most applications.

Different from any other wireless LAN and Bluetooth chip set vendor, SYNTEK and 3DSP uses its patented Software Radio technology to implement both wireless LAN and Bluetooth in software. The highly optimized software radio DSP technology enables STA-UI-A0050 to integrate class 1 Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR function without any added cost to the total solution. No extra antenna, PA, RF transceiver, resistor, capacitor, crystal or any components are needed. The software solution even guarantees the Bluetooth RF performance if the wireless LAN performance is tested to be good. It eliminates the need for system manufacturers to separately test the modules Bluetooth RF performance, therefore reduce the testing time and cost.

The STA-UI-A0050 utilizes 3DSPs patent pending technologies to fundamentally solve the interference and performance issues existed during 802.11b/g and Bluetooth coexistence, thus improving both 802.11b/g and Bluetooth performance and link stability in real environment. As a result, it enhances user experience in a totally wireless environment, where all devices are connected wirelessly through either Bluetooth link or 802.11b/g link.

The single installation package allows for easy setup and configuration of both 802.11b/g and Bluetooth devices. Combined user interface is intuitive to use. Once configured, both wireless links operate transparently in the background.
