1 Overview
The WE865-DUAL is a dual-mode IEEE 802.11b/g
the GE863-PRO³ device family. The WE865-DUAL is a versatile and powerful addition to any PRO³based design instantly adding the power of Wi-Fi communications and the versatility of the SDIO
interface.
The unique Ball-Grid-Array (BGA) package based on solder balls placed on the underside of a module
which allows for direct mounting to the application circuit board, without the need for plugs, cables, or
connectors.
Software is running on the host. Full software package is delivered with GE863-PRO³ software
package.
This product is intended for system integrators who develop applications on the GE863-PRO³ module
but would also like to configure and manage IEEE 802.11b/g wireless module.
From the interface point of view, the WE865-DUAL provides the SDIO interface used to connect and
communicate with GE863-PRO³ host processor.
