FCC Filing for Samsung Galaxy Tab Reveal 5GHz Dual-Band WiFi
Samsung’s recent Galaxy devices may get some heat for their poor GPS reception, but the Galaxy Tab plans to make up for it with one of the most powerful WiFi receivers to be found in a device of its class. A recent FCC filing for the new Samsung tablet to be formally announced tomorrow at IFA reveal dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi at 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz allowing throughput speeds of 150Mbps. This should give the Tab a bit of range to roam as pesky obstructions like walls will be easily penetrated by WiFi connectivity.
The filing also reveals a GSM 1900 radio, meaning that even if it doesn’t launch with the carrier AT&T’s network will be supported. This goes along with the CDMA version outed for Verizon and a quad-band GSM/HSDPA version that was spotted making its way through the GCF. Just like the Galaxy S phone, it seems there will be quite a few variants floating around (though we expect them to differ only in their cellular radios).
