High Performance Embedded Radio
Airborne™ is a line of highly integrated
802.11 radios and modules. The Airborne
Embedded 802.11b/g SDIO-SPI Radio
delivers a high performance, integrated
solution for consumer and industrial wireless
applications using the latest IEEE 802.11b/g
platform. It delivers a cost and space
efficient solution, provided by a small profile
design and direct down SMT high density
connection to the system board.
Interoperable and Advanced Security
The Airborne Embedded 802.11b/g SDIOSPI Radio is a complete high-speed wireless
solution that uses the latest 802.11b/g
chipset from Marvell Libertas 88W8686. It
provides compatibility with the 802.11b
DSSS and 802.11g orthogonal frequency
division multiplexing (OFDM) standards. The
module includes integrated antenna
connectors that provide a direct connection
from the radio to the antenna. The module is
a true upgrade option - no soldered
connections are required. It can be
upgraded in the field or added to a managed
product configuration.
As the latest addition to the Airborne Radio
family the WLRG-RA-DP600 includes
support for full speed SDIO (1 & 4 bit) and
SPI, through the Quatech standard 30 pin
connector.
The WLRG-RA-DP600 family includes full
hardware and software support for
AES/CCMP, RC4, WEP, WPA and WPA2
encryption. Provision for enterprise level
EAP supplicants is fully supported. In
addition the module provides the latest
802.11 standards, including QoS and Transit
Power Control.
