Multi-Tech Announces Wi-Fi® Module for Embedded Applications
SocketWireless® Wi-Fi® Product Is Part of Universal Socket Connectivity Initiative
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 31 -- Multi-Tech® Systems, Inc., a leading telecommunications and data communications technology company based in suburban Minneapolis, today announces its new 802.11b wireless networking embedded modules for designers needing a fast and efficient means of adding Wi-Fi connectivity to their applications.
The new SocketWirelessWi-Fi, models MT800SWM and MT800SWM-L, embedded modules are ready-to-integrate and space-efficient (1" x 2.5") devices that are 802.11b compliant, integrate a complete TCP/IP protocol stack, and include a selectable-speed serial interface. The new 5V MT800SWM and 3.3V MT800SWM-L are RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) compliant.
"The new 802.11b modules add an important item to our family of Universal Socket Connectivity modules that encourages designs tailored to accommodate multiple communications requirements," states Chip Harleman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. "These 802.11b modules are designed to handle data communications for OEMs needing to remotely monitor equipment over Wi-Fi networks. By making the modules part of the Universal Socket Connectivity initiative, they add one more communications technology option developers have available within the same footprint. Now, connectivity needs can smoothly migrate through technologies such as wired modem, Ethernet LAN, ISDN, cellular wireless, Bluetooth® and 802.11b, implementing the technology more easily. A two-year warranty ensures it will keep accomplishing its mission."
