Designed specifically for embedded applications, the Silex SX-10WAG (802.11a/b/g) and SX-10WG (802.11b/g) are Mini PCI radio modules that provide superior features for the OEM such as:
- Manufactured in Japan to the strictest quality standards at Silex's ISO 9001:2000 certified factory
- FCC Limited Modular Approval and certified/compliant with wide range of global regulatory standards
- Include 0dB antenna and support diversity antenna configurations
The SX-10WG and SX-10WAG are high quality mini-PCI wireless LAN modules that are designed specifically for OEM embedded applications. They are used to add 802.11b/g (SX-10WG) or 802.11a/b/g (SX-10WAG) capabilities to devices where the higher-level network processing is done in the OEM device’s processor. Unlike generic mini-PCI modules that are intended for use in laptops, the SX-10WG and SX-10WAG meet the specific requirements of demanding OEMs for features, quality, and support.
The SX-10WAG and SX-10WG advantages include:
- Manufactured by Silex in Japan to the strictest quality standards at Silex's ISO 9001:2000 certified factory
- FCC Limited Modular Approval for simplification of OEM FCC testing requirements
- Meets a wide range of global regulatory certifications/standards
- U.S.-based OEM support team
- Sophisticated embedded networking software available, including Silex’s comprehensive NSS security suite
- Includes antenna with cable (no need to source separate antenna) and supports diversity antenna configurations
To expedite your OEM design process, Silex offers the SX-TCP protocol stack and the NSS security software suite. These sophisticated software packages work with the SX-10WAG or SX-10WG to provide a highly reliable and secure wireless connectivity solution for your device.
