Wireless transmission
The SonoSite M-Turbo ultrasound system implement two wireless solutions.
Wireless USB Dongle (Panda) is a small wireless adapter that plugs into the USB port on the right side of
the M-Turbo ultrasound system
Wireless and Security Module is a module that mounts on the lid of the M-Turbo ultrasound system and
then plugs into the system with a right-angled USB cord
Refer to the information below for the transmission information for each one.
Wireless USB Dongle (Panda)
The Wireless USB Dongle uses the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency bands from 2.412 to
2.4835 GHz, depending on your country's regulation. The dongle implements the following methods of
transmission:
IEEE 802.11b with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) at 19 dBm: Peak rate 54Mbps,
Peak throughput: 27Mbps
IEEE 802.11g with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) at 16 dBm: Peak rate 54Mbps,
Peak throughput: 27Mbps
IEEE 802.11n with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) at 15 dBm:
1T1R. Peak rate: 150 Mbps, Peak throughput: 90 Mbps
1T2R. Peak rate: 300 Mbps, Peak throughput: Rx 160 Mbps
2T2R. Peak rate: 300 Mbps, Peak throughput: Rx 260 Mbps
Wireless and Security Module
The Wireless and Security Module uses the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency bands from
1.400 to 2.4835 GHz, and from 5.100 to 5.800 GHz. The module implements four different methods of
transmission:
IEEE 802.11a with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) at 11 dBm ± 2 dBm @ 54 Mbps
IEEE 802.11b with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) at 16 dBm ± 2.0 dBm @ 11 Mbps
IEEE 802.11g with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) at 13 dBm ±2.0 dBm @ 54 Mbps
IEEE 802.11n with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) at 12 dBm ± 2.0 dBm
(802.11gn) @ MCS7
