1.      General Description
    This document is to specify the product requirements for 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth USB Module.
This Card is based on Qualcomm QCA9378-7 chipset .It is WLAN and BT combo solution to support a
complete 2×2 MIMO dual-band(2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN and BT 4.1+HS.This module
provides a high level of integration with a dual-stream IEEE 802.11ac MAC/baseband/radio and Bluetooth
4.1+HS and Low Energy technology.
    The WLAN operation supports rates of MCS0 ~ MCS9 (up to 256QAM) in 20MHz,40MHz and 80MHz
channels for data rates up to 866.7Mbps. It is also backward complied with IEEE 802.11a standard from
5.15~5.25 and 5725~5.825GHz wideband and IEEE 802.11b/g standard from 2.4~2.4835GHz. It can be
used to provide up to 54Mbps for IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g, 11Mbps for IEEE 802.11b and
300Mbps for IEEE 802.11n.
    With seamless roaming, fully interoperability and advanced security with WEP standard, 802.11
a/b/g/n/ac USB2.0 Module offers absolute interoperability with different vendors 802.11a/b/g/n/ac.Access
Points through the wireless LAN.

    The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in cases of absence of information to transmit,
or operational failure. Then it will scan the available radio signals. If this signal is connected before, it will be
automatically connected, otherwise manual connections will be necessary.

     Note: The WLAN and BT are time-division working mode, simultaneous transmission is not supported.
