Rabbit Semiconductor Introduces the Adaptable Wi-Fi Add-On Kit
To meet the increasing demand for embedded wireless, Rabbit Semiconductor is now offering Wi-Fi Add-On Kits for its most popular microprocessor core modules. These kits provide integrated Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) capability for existing and new Rabbit-based applications. The kits include an interposer board specifically designed to fit between a core module and a motherboard, a CompactFlash Wi-Fi Board, a LinkSys (NASDAQ: CSCO) Wi-Fi CompactFlash Card, a 12" ribbon cable to allow remote placement of the Wi-Fi board and card, and software with sample programs. The hardware excluding LinkSys ( Wi-Fi CompactFlash Card is also available separately). The following core modules are supported by the add-on kit: RCM 3300, RCM3100, RCM3200, RCM3300, RCM3400, RCM3600, RCM3700, and PowerCore Flex.
To further expand the capabilities of your embedded network, the optional RabbitWeb Software Module provides a means by which Rabbit-based applications can serve web pages including reading and writing program variables remotely. In addition, correctly implementing other optional software modules, such as SSL and AES, will make your embedded network and critical machine information more secure. Other optional software modules that may be of interest include FAT File System, PPP, SNMP, and the μ C/OS-II Real Time Kernel.
The Wi-Fi Add-On kit comes at a low price of $199. The kit allows customers with current Rabbit 3000 based systems to quickly implement a wireless networking structure.
Z-World/Rabbit Semiconductor has partnered with LinkSys a division of Cisco Systems, to provide Wi-Fi hardware support. LinkSys is the leader in networking solutions for the home and small business particularly in wireless LAN equipment, broadband routers, network adapters for desktop and notebook computers, and hubs and switches.
