BBGW Radio
Preliminary Product Details
Product Description
Airgo Network’s AGN0912AR-01 product design is based on Airgo’s advanced two- receiver AGN103BB
and AGN100RF chipset. The product is designed specifically for Broadband Gateways and other similar
Access Point applications. Airgo Network’s patented multi-antenna technology yields enhanced range and
provides data rates of up to 10 times the competition at the same range. Airgo’s patented True MIMO
TM
multi-antenna technology enables the AGN0912AR-01 to deliver 108 Mbps data rates in a single 20 MHz
channel that is legal worldwide. Full support for IEEE 802.11b/g standards allows for an unprecedented
level of backwards compatibility and performance at all data rates. Airgo Networks has shattered the
previous definition of range, speed giving you maximum performance and feature advantages.

Users will no longer be frustrated by severe degradations in performance as they move away from Access
Points (APs). Airgo’s technology delivers up to five times the range and ten times the data rates of other
vendor solutions, thus significantly increasing network capacity and reducing total cost of ownership.
Although the AGN0912AR-01 displays high performance and range in any Wi-Fi environment, its file
transfer rate, robustness and range are greatly enhanced when it is used in conjunction with Airgo’s True
MIMO
TM
-based Client Adapters, with data rates up to 108 Mbps.
Airgo’s patented True MIMO
TM
multi-antenna technology also permits the AGN0912AR-01 to
communicate simultaneously with legacy devices at standard 802.11 b/g rates, while communicating with
Airgo True MIMO
TM
enabled devices (APs and clients) at data rates up to 108 Mbps. This is enabled by the
AGN0912AR-01’s use of True MIMO
TM
or standards compliant modulation on a packet by packet basis,
depending on the capability of the device at the other end of the link.
