Introduction
Airborne™ is a line of highly integrated 802.11b 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 inhouse, OEM's can realize reduced product development costs and a quick time-to-market. Airborne™ 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 Airborne™ easy to embed into new or existing designs. The module is interoperable with industry standard 802.11b access points that provide a low cost infrastructure for connection to a LAN and to the Internet. The built-in TCP/IP stack, RTOS 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™ modules have been designed specifically to provide wireless LAN and Internet connectivity in industrial, scientific, medical, automotive and other OEM applications. Equipment with an embedded Airborne™ module can be monitored and controlled by a handheld device, by a PC in a central location or over the Internet. This eliminates cabling and allows the equipment to be moved. Additionally, email or text messages can be sent out advising appropriate personnel of alarm conditions or status of equipment. The module is an excellent solution for remote sensing and data collection.
