Serial-to-Wi-Fi Technology The SocketWireless Wi-Fi IP device server provides the powerful ability to IP-enable serial devices allowing more options for data acquisition, device management, and industrial control than would otherwise be available. The communications device integrates a processor, proprietary operating system, TCP/IP stack, and an 802.11b wireless network connection to provide a complete serial-to-Wi-Fi connectivity solution.

Quick-to-Market Solution. The complete, ready-to-integrate SocketWireless Wi-Fi device server is certified by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC approval is portable across any solution for which the communications device is integrated, which means you can use the Multi-Tech license and bypass your own 802.11 regulatory product testing. This alone will save you valuable resources and dollars to allow you to focus on your product’s core features, and accelerate your time-to-market.

Universal Socket Connectivity. Multi-Tech’s universal socket is a flexible, comm-port architecture that provides cellular, Ethernet, PSTN or Wi-Fi network access with interchangeable communications devices. This means you can utilize one system design and populate it with your connectivity device of choice accommodating multiple connectivity requirements. In addition, you are assured a seamless migration to future technologies.

SocketWireless Wi-Fi Pin-Out. The SocketWireless Wi-Fi device server interfaces easily with existing products through a standard serial communication channel. The serial DTE channel is capable of transfer speeds to 230.4K bps and can be interfaced directly to a UART or microcontroller. The SocketWireless Wi-Fi device server also provides two LED driver outputs for visual monitoring of link and activity.

Developer's Kit. The Developer’s Kit allows you to plug in the communications device and use it for testing, programming and evaluation. The kit includes one development board with RS-232 DB-25 connector, universal power supply, antenna and RS-232 cable.
