AR9380 is the single-chip, dual-band (2.4/5 GHz), 3-stream 11n solution with PCIe interface.
It packs the breakthrough Signal Sustain Technology 3 (SST3) technology that enhances the rate-over-range (RoR) performance.
SST3 is a set of advanced technologies and features enabled by 802.11n including LDPC, TxBF and MLD.
The end result is an impressive increase in rate-over-range of ~+100% at short range, ~+50% at mid range and ~+25% at long range.
Despite its mighty performance and high degree of integration, AR9380 consumes even less power in every operation mode active TX, active RX, idle associated and sleep. It keeps the notebook and other computing platforms running much longer on a single battery-charge, while providing TCP throughput of more than 300 Mbps when used in 3×3 mode.
AR9380 is also optimized for P2P applications compliant with Wi-Fi Direct.
TM With its Fast Channel Switch (FCS) feature, the channel switching time between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz is reduced from 10 ms to as little as 1 ms.
Conserves power with 1×1 downshift using Dynamic MIMO Power Save Enables PHY rates of up to 450 Mbps
