AirborneTM 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-DP501 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.
Enterprise Class Security
WPA2 Enterprise (AES-CCMP + EAP) is
the emerging standard for leading edge
enterprise networks. The Airborne
Enterprise Device Server 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, WPA-
PSK, WPA-LEAP and WEP.
Reliability
Designed by Quatech specifically to meet
the demands of the industrial, automotive
and medical markets, the Airborne device
server has the widest operating
temperature range and highest level of
reliability available, all backed by a five
year limited warranty. Quatech also
provides FCC Modular certification,
minimizing requirements for further
regulatory testing by original equipment
manufacturers.
Markets
Previous generations of Airborne device
servers have been integrated and
deployed into a wide range of applications
across various industries including:
Medical equipment
Vehicle telematics & diagnostics
Material handling & logistics
Industrial Automation
Test & measurement
Security & access control
Quatech’s Airborne Enterprise Device
Server Module extends the reputation of
the family further by drawing on
experience of Quatech application
engineers across hundreds of wireless
M2M deployments. The advanced
technologies implemented in the Quatech
Enterprise 802.11 Device Server family
provide an industry-leading solution with
breakthrough performance and security
for M2M applications and drop in
replacements for existing 802.11b and
802.11b/g networking modules. Model Selection Guide
