WAPA004 User’s Manual Introduction
Overview
WAPA004 PCI Module is designed to provide wireless communication for all wireless device based systems. It
communicates via the standard 802.11a/b/g protocols. The WAPA004 uses the AR5414 wireless chipset from
Atheros. This module is connected to the PCI bus through a PCI connector and special circuitry to allow for
compatibility with either 3.3V or 5V PCI signaling.
