What is Broadcom 54g®?

54g® is Broadcom's Wi-Fi chipset designed for maximum performance IEEE 802.11g wireless networks. 54g® is found in leading brands of high-performance wireless products that deliver greater speed, improved reach, and the latest, toughest security that is configured with the push of a button.

Why 54g®?

SPEED: It's Fast

With a data rate of 54 Mpbs, 54g® means faster wireless network access and file transfer. And if you want even greater speed, 125 High Speed Mode or SpeedBooster provides 40% greater throughput for 54g products. Wireless products with 54g and 125 High Speed Mode/SpeedBooster deliver the bandwidth and quality of service needed for applications such as voice over IP (VoIP), MP3 streaming, and video file transfer.

Even without 125 High Speed Mode, all 54g chips include Xpress™ Technology that improves the overall efficiency of a network.

REACH: It provides coverage throughout your home

Maintaining a reliable connection has become critical, as more Wi-Fi networks are used for gaming, audio streaming and VoIP. 54g® technology with BroadRange maintains higher throughput as you move further from the router/access point.

SECURITY: It's strong and easy to secure

Security is a key requirement for businesses and consumers using wireless networks. To ensure that data is quickly and safely delivered to its destination, 54g® solutions include the latest security features, including Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Plus, 54g products offer SecureEasySetup, which quickly and easily configures security settings with the push of a button.

Compatibility: It works with existing and new Wi-Fi products.

54g® is found in more Wi-Fi enabled devices than any other chipset. Look for the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ logo to ensure interoperability among all products on the network.
