Bluetooth 4.0/WiFi Expansion Card Features
BT4.0 energy saving
GIGABYTE Bluetooth 4.0/WiFi Expansion Cards offer support for the latest Bluetooth 4.0 standard which is a new low power, high-speed standard that is supported by devices such as the Apple iPhone 4S.
Backwards compatible with previous Bluetooth revisions, Bluetooth 4.0 brings some clear advantages to the table. These include fast device pairing, low latency communication and low power consumption. This means that your iPhone 4S, or Bluetooth 4.0 device can more easily connect to your PC via the motherboard’s PCIe adapter and take advantage of the low latency connection to move data from the iOS device and the PC much faster than previously possible.

Dual Band
GC-WB300D features DUAL BAND (2.4/5 GHz) operation
The GIGABYTE GC-WB300D is equipped with two different types of wireless radios, a 2.4GHz band and a 5GHz band. While most WiFi devices utilize the 2.4GHz wireless band, some devices such as the Apple New iPad are able to utilize the higher-speed 5GHz band. The GIGABYTE GC-WB300D allows these devices to operate on the best available band, allowing them to get fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible range. Dual band also helps to reduce interference from other devices which utilize the 2.4 band such as cordless phones.
