Wireless Interoperability
The Broadcom WLAN Card products are designed to be interoperable with any wireless LAN product that is based on
direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology and to comply
with the following standards:
● IEEE Std 802.11b-1999. Standard on 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN
● IEEE draft Std 802.11g. Standard on 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN
● IEEE Std 802.11a-1999. Standard on 5 GHz Wireless LAN
The Broadcom WLAN Cards and Your Health
The Broadcom WLAN Cards, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy
emitted by these devices, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones.
The Broadcom WLAN Card devices operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from
deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some
situations or environments, the use of a Broadcom WLAN Card wireless device may be restricted by the proprietor of the
building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such situations include the following:
● Using the Broadcom WLAN Card equipment onboard airplanes, or
● Using the Broadcom WLAN Card equipment in any other environment where the risk of interference with other
devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (an airport, for example),
ask for authorization to use the Broadcom WLAN Card device before turning it on.
