- Apple MacBook Pro w/ Retina display (2012)
The PCIe connector for this device is proprietary (see external links below for more info).
This module is using the following components...
- BCM4331 (BCM4331KML1G [P21], different chip pkg. from the standard BCM4331KMLG)
- w/ 2 Skyworks SE5515 Dual Band Front End Modules (FEMs)
- w/ 1 Skyworks (SiGe) SE5019T 5GHz Power Amplifier (PA)
- w/ 1 Skyworks (SiGe) SE2598L 2.4GHz Power Amplifier (PA)
- BCM20702 r. A3 Bluetooth SoC (USB)
The antenna connector used for this card is presumed to be MHF4.
