Serial-to-WiFi Module for M2M
Connect One has come up with a new Serial to Wifi connectivity modules. This development bodes well for the legacy M2M connectivity market. Using this module the M2M Application development time for legacy / retrofit application can be significantly reduced - Additional information from Connect One Press Release
Connect Oneâ„¢, the Device Networking Authorityâ„¢, today announced the release of Socket iWiFi, a secure serial-to-WiFi embedded device server that quickly and easily connects devices running machine-to-machine (M2M) applications to 802.11b/g wireless LANs.
By offloading connectivity, cryptography and security from the application processor, Socket iWiFi frees up host processing time and simplifies the wireless design process. As a coprocessor with remotely updateable firmware, new security or connectivity protocols do not require application redesign, increased memory or faster processor speed to meet future wireless demands. With Socket iWiFi, developers can take advantage of 10 simultaneous TCP/UDP sockets; two listening sockets; SMTP, MIME, POP3, FTP, Telnet, and HTTP clients; a Web server with a Web site for the application and one for configuring iChipSec; and serial-to-IP bridging. Socket iWiFi supports, 64-/128-bit WEP encryption; the SSL3/TLS1 protocol for a secure client socket session and a secure FTP session; WPA1; and it will support WPA2 during Q3. The module operates at 3.3 volts, operates over an extended temperature range of -20° to 70° C (-4° to 158° F) and is RoHS-compliant. Company Link
