USB WiFi Modem Module Affordably Meets Fastest Wireless Protocols For OEM
Purposes
Radicom's USB WiFi Module Supports 802.11b/g/n Standards At Extreme Operating
Temperatures
SAN JOSE, Calif. – May 18, 2011
– Radicom Research, a
leader in the modem industry, announced today the release of WiFiHU series of
USB WiFi modem modules. With the WiFiHU modules, WiFi connectivity can easily be
added to virtually any processor-based device. WiFiHU supports the latest
wireless standards, including 802.11b/g/n, all through a USB 2.0 interface, at a
price normally found for last-generation wireless hardware.
With reliable
transmissions, protocol stack and use of 1TX/2RX antenna technology, these
high speed USB wireless devices achieve over-the-air data throughput up to
300Mbps downstream and 150Mbps upstream PHY rates using 40MHz bandwidth or up to
150Mbps downstream and 75Mbps upstream rates using 20MHz.
The WiFiHU is designed
for industrial OEM use. It features
–40°C to +85°C extended operating temperatures in a small footprint, and it
comes with WEP/WPA/WPA2 security protocols to protect the host. Other
specifications include firmware and configuration parameters stored in on-board
NVRAM and low overall power consumption.
Radicom's WiFiHU series
comes in two models: WiFiHU-a and WiFiHU-c. WiFiHU-a has dual-chip antennas
built in to eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming RF development,
creating shorter time to market. WiFiHU-c has two U.FL connectors to attach
antenna cables and antennas, giving OEM engineers the flexibility to place
antennas in locations best suited to their design.
