VIA VT6655 series Driver 1.3 Description

Single-chip 802.11a/b/g WLAN Controller enables high-speed 54Mbps wireless connections to satisfy the bandwidth needs of the most demanding enterprise, public access and home WLAN users.

VIA Networking VT6655 WLAN Controller, a single chip solution featuring an IEEE 11a/g media access controller (MAC) and integrated baseband processor. Enabling data rates between wireless devices of up to 54 Mbps. WLAN modules based on the VIA Networking VT6655 can deliver the bandwidth necessary for real-time streaming of high-definition digital multimedia content in home networks, and provide high-speed broadband access to multiple mobile users in a corporate environments or public hotspots.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the VIA VT6655 is compatible with a choice of PCI 2.2, Mini-PCI or Cardbus interfaces, and offers seamless compatibility with the leading RF chips currently available, ensuring WLAN module makers benefit from a wider choice of RF vendors and potentially lower development costs. Backwards compatible with 802.11b standard, VIA Networking VT6655 based devices enable smooth migration for all 802.11b-based networks, without the need to sacrifice existing WLAN infrastructure.

In addition to providing high-speed wireless communication between devices, the VIA Networking VT6655 ensures optimum data security through the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) specification. The forthcoming WPA 2.0 specification is also supported, which will be enabled through a downloadable software update. The VIA Networking VT6655 is Wi-Fi certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance (formerly WECA), the global organization that oversees the Wi-Fi interoperability certification program. In order to receive official Wi-Fi certification, all IEEE 802.11 products must undergo independent testing.

IEEE 802.11g provides the bandwidth needed for today?s more demanding Wi-Fi users, while maintaining compatibility with existing 802.11b infrastructure, commented Dr. Steven S Lee, CEO of VIA Networking Technologies, Inc. ?The perfect combination of high-speed data rates, power efficiency and roust security makes the VIA Networking VT6655 WLAN controller an ideal solution to enable the next generation of cutting edge IEEE 802.11g compatible notebooks and peripheral devices.?

Additional cutting-edge features of the VIA Networking VT6655 include a Customizable Hot Key function, which enables users to instantly turn off the WLAN connection via a designated key, and a Power Amplifier (PA) Power Detector. The PA Power Detector monitors and optimizes power usage to ensure stable transmission power, which is particularly beneficial to thin and light notebooks with challenging thermal environments. VIA Networking also offers WLAN software programming support to WLAN module vendors, helping enable fast time to market for customers.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
