Embedded Wi-Fi modules

31 October 2012 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

GainSpan has expanded its low-power embedded Wi-Fi solutions portfolio with new connectorised Wi-Fi modules in the form of the GS1011MExSC line. Comprised of the MEESC and the MEPSC, these new modules use a 40-pin connector which makes it easy to add Wi-Fi connectivity to an existing or new product, while providing the advantage of flexibility.

With the connector, modules can be easily swapped, giving manufacturers flexibility in shipping devices with a PCB or external antenna depending upon the range required for the application.

The GS1011MExSC line features UART and SPI interfaces for ease of integration with any 8/16/32-bit microcontroller and an external power amplifier for extended range, with +18 dBm transmit power. They are fully certified for all major regulatory domains including FCC, IC, ETSI as well as TELEC in Japan.

Like all GainSpan Wi-Fi modules, the new GSMExSC products are preloaded with serial-to-Wi-Fi firmware for complete Wi-Fi functionality. They offer advanced networking features and capabilities such as easy provisioning from a smartphone, over-the-air firmware updates, enterprise security, embedded DHCP, DNS and HTTP(S) servers, an XML parser and advanced device discovery.

The module line is currently available in two different SKUs: the GS1011MEPSC with a built-in PCB antenna, and the GS1011MEESC with a u.FL connector for an external antenna.
