The current RF system consists of an antenna and a
WLAN system-on-chip (SoC) along with other compo-
nents. The WLAN system-on-chip is the core of the
WLAN system. The RF system used in the CoaguChek
Pro II meter specifically adheres to the following specifi-
cations:
■ Its WLAN system-on-chip supports IEEE 802.11b
and 802.11g. It works seamlessly together with other
Wi-Fi certified transceivers. It also implements the
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA™ - Enterprise and
WPA™ - Personal), Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
(WPA2™ - Enterprise and WPA2™ - Personal), and
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security mecha-
nisms with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The
CoaguChek Pro II meter interoperability Wi-Fi
certificate can be accessed at

Further information including a glossary of terms,
frequently asked questions, and other topics related
to Wi-Fi technology can be found on the Wi-Fi
Alliance site (http://www.wi-fi.org/).
■ The used channels in the 2.4 GHz-band are chan-
nels 1-11, which are the legally allowed channels in
the USA. (Channels 12-14 are not used by the
CoaguChek Pro II meter.)
■ RF output power is approximately 15 dBm at a data
rate of 54 MBPS.
