The Airborne wireless device server module includes a radio (which may be purchased separately), a base-band processor, an application processor and software for a ‘drop-in’ web-enabled WiFi solution. Since there is no need to develop the software, or to develop the RF and communications expertise in-house, OEMs can realise reduced product development costs and a quick time-to-market. Airborne modules provide instant LAN and Internet connectivity, and connect through standard serial interfaces (other Airborne modules offer an Ethernet interface) to a wide variety of applications.
Highly interoperable with advanced security, the small footprint design makes Airborne easy to embed into new or existing designs. The module is interoperable with industry standard 802.11 access points and advanced security standards such as WEP, WPA and LEAP, that provide a low cost infrastructure for connection to a LAN and to the Internet.
The built-in TCP/IP stack and application software provide embedded devices with instant LAN and Internet connectivity without special programming of the module – only simple configuration is required using DPAC’s HL interface. An integrated web server makes it easy to remotely monitor and control any device using a standard browser. OEMs can create custom web pages that deliver content from their application. The Airborne modules have been designed to provide wireless LAN and Internet connectivity in industries such as: transportation, medical, warehouse and logistics, point-of-sale (POS), industrial automation, military, scientific research, etc.
Equipment with an embedded Airborne module can be monitored and controlled by a handheld device, by a PC in a central location or over the Internet. The evaluation and design kit provides software and utilities that allow a developer to quickly and easily operate and evaluate the wireless device server module.

Editor's Choice PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Many process engineers do not appreciate the importance of flow loops in their unit controls. A senior process engineer once told me that flow loops need not be tuned well, as they generally have little effect on the more important and much slower loops like temperatures and pressures.

PLCs, DCSs & Controllers
Data acquisition, data logging and data analysis are required functions for most modern industrial control systems. The simplest and lowest cost way to provide these functions is often by using the same platform that’s providing real-time control, namely the PLC or the programmable automation controller.
