Connect One G2 Wi-Fi modules

Connect One has launched its next-generation (G2) Wi-Fi modules to support the latest 802.11b/g/n wireless standards for the Internet of Things (IoT) market.

The modules incorporate fast, secure wireless standards while creating a no-change upgrade path. They feature full 802.11b/g/n support; easy switching between Wi-Fi Access Point and Wi-Fi Client Operation modes; and an industrial temperature range of -30 to +85°C.

The modules offer good system performance for IoT connectivity with Broadcom BCM43362 Wi-Fi Transceiver SOC and its 802.11b/g/n MAC and baseband functionality. The modules provide multiple hardware interfaces, extensive firmware, a full suite of secure internet protocols for Wi-Fi client mode and up to eight Wi-Fi users in router or access-point modes.

Designers gain immediate, full-featured connectivity without any Wi-Fi driver development or porting, minimising project development challenges and time to market. The modules also serve as independent Wi-Fi access points where Wi-Fi infrastructure does not exist. Users can use the modules to connect to and manage their deployed, in-field devices via standard Wi-Fi devices.

The range offers advanced internet-level security; the module includes Wi-Fi encryption algorithms (WEP/WPA/WPA2), internet SSL communication and encryption algorithms. It provides a secure separation between the embedded application and the network in order to protect the application from attacks originating from the internet.
