Airborne Embedded SDIO-SPI Interface 802.11b/g Radio

Airborne™ is a line of highly integrated 802.11 radios and modules. The Airborne Embedded 802.11 b/g SDIO-SPI Radio delivers a high performance, integrated solution for low power and hand held industrial wireless applications using the latest IEEE 802.11 b/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.

The Airborne Embedded 802.11b/g SDIO-SPI Radio is a complete high speed wireless solution that uses the latest 802.11 b/g Marvell Libertas (88W8686) based chipset. It provides compatibility with the 802.11b DSSS and 802.11g othogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) standards. The module includes an integrated antenna connector that provides 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.
