connectblue OWL221a WLAN Module

Overview

The OEM Wireless LAN dual-band Module 221a from connectBlue has been developed for integration in industrial devices providing state of the art low power features. The accompanying software driver works as the interface between the TCP/IP stack in the device and the module. The module minimizes the work needed to implement Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n) in a device.  It is developed for reliable, high demanding industrial devices and applications. The driver is available for Linux, WinCE and embedded systems and may be adapted for any micro controller.
