ANAGEMENT

Super G

Atheros’ Super G is a series of intelligent mechanisms that
engage when additional bandwidth is available and/or needed. It
increases the actual end user throughput of an 802.11a/b/g
network. These features include bursting, compression, fast
frames and Dynamic and Static Turbo. These features are
described briefly below.
