AirborneTMis a line of highly integrated

802.11 modules. The wireless module
includes a radio, a base-band processor,
an application processor and software for
a “drop-in” web-enabled WiFi solution.
Since there’s no need to develop the
software, or to develop the RF and
communications expertise in-house,
OEM’s can realize reduced product
development costs and a quick time-to­market. Airborne

TM

modules provide
instant LAN and Internet connectivity, and
connect through standard serial interfaces
to a wide variety of applications.

Applications

The extremely small footprint design
makes AirborneTMeasy to embed into new
or existing designs. The module is
interoperable with industry stand­ard 802.11 access points and advanced
security standards such as WEP, WPA
and EAP, that provide a low cost
infrastructure for connection to a LAN and
to the Internet. The built-in TCP/IP stack
and application software provide
embedded devices with instant LAN and
Internet connectivity without special

programming of the module - only simple
configuration is required using DPAC’s
HTML interface. An integrated web server
makes it easy to remotely monitor and
control any device using a standard
browser. Additionally, the OEM can create
custom web pages that deliver content
from their application.

The Airborne

TM

modules have been
designed to provide wireless LAN and
Internet connectivity in these industries:

 transportation
 medical
 warehouse logistics
 POS
 industrial
 military
 scientific

Equipment with an embedded Airborne

TM

module can be monitored and controlled
by a handheld device, by a PC in a central
location or over the Internet.

The Evaluation & Design Kit provides
software and utilities that allow a
developer to quickly and easily operate
and evaluate the Wireless Device Server
module.
