High performance device
networking solutions

Airborne™ is a line of highly integrated

802.11 modules. The wireless ethernet
bridge module includes a radio (which may
be purchased separately), a base-band
processor, an application processor and
software for a “drop-in” web-enabled Wi-Fi
solution. Since there’s no need to develop
the software, or to develop the RF and
communications expertise inhouse, OEMs
can realize reduced product development
costs and a quick time-to-market. This
Airborne Wireless Ethernet Module
provides instant LAN and Internet
connectivity, and connects through a
standard ethernet interface (other Airborne
modules offer standard serial interfaces) to
a wide variety of applications.

Simple configuration, advanced
security

The extremely small footprint design
makes Airborne easy to embed in both
existing and new designs. Supporting
advanced security modes, including WEP,
WPA and LEAP, the module is
interoperable with industry standard 802.11
Access Points and stations. Providing
access to existing infrastructure that
enables access to corporate WLANs,
WANs and even the internet. The built-in
TCP/IP stack and application software
provide embedded devices with this level of
connectivity, without requiring any software
development - only simple configuration

using one of the available, easy to use
management interfaces. The Airborne
unit allows you to customize their settings
to meet your application demands.

Applications

The Airborne modules have been
designed and tested to provide Wireless
LAN (WLAN) and Internet connectivity
across the harshest of machine to
machine environments including:

 transportation
 medical
 warehouse and logistics
 point-of-sale (POS)
 industrial automation
 military
 scientific research

Any system with an existing Ethernet port
can be wirelessly enabled by connecting
the Airborne Ethernet Bridge module
directly to the output of its Ethernet PHY,
maintaining current firmware and
software while enhancing system
functionality.

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