UART, SPI or Ethernet interface
1.4 APPLICATIONS
The Airborne WLN Module’s small physical footprint makes the Module easy to embed into new
or existing designs. The Module is interoperable with industry-standard IEEE 802.11 Access
Points that provide a low-cost infrastructure for connection to a LAN and to the Internet.
The built-in TCP/IP stack, Real Time Operating System (RTOS), and application firmware
provide embedded devices with instant LAN and Internet connectivity, without requiring special
WLN Module programming. Advanced security standards such as WEP, WPA and LEAP deliver
a low cost secured infrastructure for connection to a LAN and to the Internet. Only a simple
configuration procedure is required using the WLN Module’s powerful Command Line Interface.
The Airborne WLN Module has been designed specifically to provide wireless LAN and Internet
connectivity in industrial, scientific, medical, transportation, and other OEM applications. It is an
excellent solution for remote sensing and data collection. Equipment with an embedded
Airborne WLN Module can be monitored and controlled by a handheld device, by a personal
computer in a central location, or over the Internet. This eliminates cabling and allows the
equipment to be moved. Additionally, e-mail or text messages can be sent, advising appropriate
personnel of alarm conditions or equipment status.
