1.1 OVERVIEW
The Airborne™ family is a line of highly integrated 802.11 wireless products based on the
Airborne Wireless LAN Node Module. The Airborne Wireless LAN Node Module includes a
radio, a baseband processor, an application processor, and firmware for a "drop-in" Wi-Fi
solution. Since there is no need to develop driver software or to develop the RF and
communications expertise in-house, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can realize
reduced product-development costs and a quick time-to-market. Airborne™ modules provide
instant Local Area Network (LAN) and Internet connectivity, and connect through simple
standard interfaces to a wide variety of applications.
1.2 CONFIGURATIONS
The Airborne Wireless LAN Node (WLN) Module consists of a fully integrated 802.11 radio and
application processor available in four models (see Table 1). This book is designed for the serial
versions of the module. Refer to Appendix D for the differences in hardware required for the
Ethernet Module.
