| + | [* black] Next out is the totally* redesigned AirPort card, providing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ac|802.11ac|new_window=true] Wi-Fi connectivity. |
| [* red] At the heart of the card we find a Broadcom [http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4360|BCM4360|new_window=true], which enables operation on the 5 GHz band at speeds up to 1.3 Gbps and communication via Bluetooth 4.0. | |
| [* orange] Also on the board is a Skyworks [http://www.skyworksinc.com/uploads/documents/SE5516A_202396B.pdf|SE5516] dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WLAN front-end module. | |
