secure, rugged wi-Fi access point modules
apMn-Q551 Series
The AirborneM
2
M line of highly-integrated 802.11 wireless access
point modules allow OEMs to Wi-Fi enable devices used in an array of
machine-to-machine (M
2
M) applications. B&B delivers all of the necessary
RF technology networking stacks and advanced security features in a
compact, single-board package, reducing integration costs for OEMs and
providing for a quick time to market.
Big Performance in Small and ruggedized Package
The AirborneM
2
M series delivers the industry’s most rugged, highly
integrated, embedded wireless access point Wi-Fi module solution
AirborneM
2
M modules meet extended operating temperature and shock
vibration specifications of the most demanding M
2
M applications.
Utilizing a 32bit ARM9 processor and the high-performance Atheros
AR6203 802.11 radio, the new AirborneM
2
M modules deliver increased
transmit power and receive sensitivity, contributing to superior range
performance.
Speedlink
™
roaming
The new AirborneM
2
M Speed Link roaming feature provides enhanced
connection reliability, enabling OEM devices to roam freely within a
wireless network without loss of data or connection.
Flexible & easy to integrate
AirborneM
2
M incorporates support for both wireless access point and
serial to Wi-Fi communications. Utilizing AirborneM
