The new SocketWirelessWi-Fi, models MT800SWM and MT800SWM-L, embeddedmodules are ready-to-integrate and space-efficient (1" x 2.5") devices thatare 802.11b compliant, integrate a complete TCP/IP protocol stack, andinclude a selectable-speed serial interface. The new 5V MT800SWM and 3.3VMT800SWM-L are RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) compliant.

 

"The new 802.11b modules add an important item to our family of UniversalSocket Connectivity modules that encourages designs tailored to accommodatemultiple communications requirements," states Chip Harleman, Vice Presidentof Sales and Marketing for Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. "These 802.11b modulesare designed to handle data communications for OEMs needing to remotelymonitor equipment over Wi-Fi networks.

 

By making the modules part of theUniversal Socket Connectivity initiative, they add one more communicationstechnology option developers have available within the same footprint. Now,connectivity needs can smoothly migrate through technologies such as wiredmodem, Ethernet LAN, ISDN, cellular wireless, Bluetooth and 802.11b,implementing the technology more easily. A two-year warranty ensures it willkeep accomplishing its mission."

 

The Multi-Tech SocketWirelessWi-Fi products feature 802.11bfunctionality, are available in 5VDC (model MT800SWM) and 3.3VDC (modelMT800SWM-L) versions, are fully RoHS complaint, and have developer's kits toassist in programming, testing and evaluation. The units support ad-hoc andinfrastructure mode, include security using WEP, support serial interfacesDTE speeds to 230K bps, include LED driver outputs and programmableinputs/outputs, use AT commands, and include flash memory for firmwareupgrading.
