  • The wireless card assembly is composed of a Mini PCI-E wireless card and an interconnect board where the cable from the motherboard is connected.

  • On the back side of the interconnect board we found a Nordic Semiconductor NRF24LU1P transceiver.

  • This chip is most likely used to decode signals received from the awesome QWERTY wireless remote.

  • We recently found the same chip in the Boxee's direct competitor, the Logitech Revue.

  • The Mini PCI-E wireless card employs a Broadcom BCM4319XKUBG.

  • An remote control antenna is printed into the interconnect board right below the Mini PCI-E socket. This is positioned near the top of the device when it is assembled to aid in remote control reception.
