High performance embedded device networking solutions

AirborneTMis a line of highly integrated

802.11 wireless modules. AirborneTM Embedded Radio Modules provide instant LAN and Internet connectivity, and connect through standard interfaces to a wide variety of applications. By contrast, the wireless device server and ethernet bridge modules include the radio as well as a base-band processor, an application processor and software for a “drop-in” web-enabled WiFi solution. With all the modules, there’s no need to develop the software or the RF and communications expertise in-house, OEMs can realize reduced product development costs and a quick time-to-market.

Interoperable with advanced security

The extremely small footprint design makes AirborneTMeasy to embed into new or existing designs. The radio integrates the 802.11 standards including the 802.11i security standard. The radio includes a full implementation of AES/CCMP, WPA and WEP security mechanisms. Enterprise applications are enabled by support for EAP. Additionally, the radio supports the 802.11e Quality of Service (QOS) and 802.11h Transmit Power Control (TPC ) standards. Allowing you access to the latest functionality and maximizing interoperability with existing infrastructure.
