Airborne™ is a line of highly integrated 802.11 radios and device servers, designed to address the demands of complex machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Utilizing the latest 802.11, microprocessor and network technologies, the Airborne family of products provide a broad encompassing solution for wireless applications requiring performance, reliability and advanced security.

The Airborne Wireless Device Server family includes hardware and software necessary to connect a serial or Ethernet device to a high performance 802.11 network. The WLNG-XX-DP50x series includes a full featured 802.11b/g radio and a high performance 32bit ARM9 processor running an embedded RTOS. The module also incorporates Quatech’s exclusive Airborne Device Server firmware, which can network-enable virtually any OEM product.

The Airborne Enterprise Device Server (WLNG-XX-DP50x series) supports the latest security standards and is fully compliant to the WPA2 Enterprise specification. A wide range of EAP supplicants and legacy security standards such as WPA, WEP and LEAP are also supported. The new 802.11b/g module supports 802.11i, 802.1x, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-Enterprise with Certificates, WPAPSK, WPA-LEAP and WEP.
