1.1 Scope
The WM201-RTL8188CE is the WLAN + BT Combo solution for the Notebook / Netbook / UMPC/ MID to enable Wirel ess and Bluetooth functionalities on your portable systems. z The form factor is Half Mini Card standard 30mm*26.8mm. z There are two RF antenna connectors for auto diversity to get the best wireless performance. It enhances the WLAN‐BT coexistence. That’s why the BT and WLAN can perform very well independently. z The combo card is cost‐effective solution. With only one slot on the system design, it enables both WLAN 802.11n 1x1 and Bluetooth features on one card. z With the software stack upgrade, it can be compliant with latest Bluetooth 3.0+HS specification. The switchable AMP (Alternate MAC/PHY) algorithm from BT to WLAN will raise the data transmission rate a lot. Please refer to the photo of sample shown as below. Top View (w shielding) Bottom View
1.2 Features
z PCIe v.1.2 HMC (Half MiniCard H2 Type) specification. z WLAN 802.11n , 1x1. z I/O: PCIe for WLAN, and USB bus interface for BT. z 2* RF connectors for external 2.4G antennas. z WLAN‐BT coexistence with separate radios.
z WLAN antenna diversity while BT coexists. z Software upgradable to BT3.0+HS.. z RoHS compliant.

2.2 SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION
2.2.1 Operating system
Windows XP, Vista, Win7.
2.2.2 BT Software Stack
The Bluetooth software stack could be Motorola or customer consigned. If the software is confirmed, the software key should be burned into the EEPROM on the module before shipment. ■ BT2.1 + EDR Win XP Windows did not provide BT stack in Win XP. It requires the 3‐rd party software stack. Vista / Win7 Windows Vista SP2 has basic BT stack support. It’s enough for normal user experience such as BT mouse, keyboard, stereo headset, speaker; and the wireless connection with mobile phone, handheld devices.
■ BT3.0 + HS XP/Vista/Win7 Windows did not have compatible BT3.0 stack to allow APM (Alternate MAC/PHY) switch from BT to WLAN. So, it requires the 3‐rd party software stack, such as latest Motorola BT3.0+HS version of software stack. 3. PACKING & ACCESSORIES Contents Unit Remarks RTL8188CE *1 Follow customer Labeling spec.
