The SX-SDWAG is the world's first 802.11a/b/g WLAN module in an SDIO card form factor. With a minimum sleep mode power consumption of just 3mA, the SX-SDWAG is ideal for battery-operated portable devices in wireless local area network (WLAN) applications in the medical, weights and measures, transportation and other industries.
Unlike WLAN SDIO cards that are intended for use in PDAs, the SX-SDWAG is specifically aimed at OEM applications. It includes diversity antenna connectors for improved radio reception and flexibility in antenna selection, and it supports an extended temperature range of -20 to +80 degrees C. The SX-SDWAG’s 802.11a 5GHz capabilities allow it to be used in enterprise environments such as hospitals, where interference from 2.4GHz devices like microwave ovens must be minimized. Silex also offers driver porting and consulting services for Linux, Windows CE, and other operating systems, as well as custom hardware design capabilities.
Measuring just 0.94 x 1.68 x 0.08 inches (24 x 42.7 x 2.1mm), the SX-SDWAG is slightly longer than a standard SD memory card. Because it has a standard SDIO form factor, OEMs can use off-the-shelf SDIO mounting hardware and test equipment to expedite the development process.
The SX-SDWAG implements half-duplex OFDM, CCK and DSSS base-band processing supporting all IEEE 802.11a/b/g data rates. The MAC supports the IEEE 802.11 wireless MAC protocol as well as 802.11i security, receive and transmit filtering, error recovery, and quality of service (QoS).
SX-SDWAG-OPEN (Evaluation Set) 802.11a/b/g SDIO Module Gift Box: Firmware 1.1, Open Source drivers for Linux and Win CE, 1x antenna and cable incl.
