Symbol Technologies has introduced a Wi-Fi wireless OEM developer kit with an embeddable wireless LAN module to allow product developers to design wireless networking into low cost devices without operating systems. Specifically, this kit has been designed for devices developed for the retail, manufacturing, transportation, and logistics segments.

The Wireless Networker OEM module (CC-4137-1000-WW) extends the Spectrum24 High Rate Wireless LAN into mobile, portable, and fixed devices, including wearable printers, price checkers, telemetry equipment, and other such devices. The Wi-Fi compliant design and broad capabilities ensure minimum design-in engineering requirements for device developers, reducing the time and cost associated with adding wireless for real-time network connectivity.

To ease hardware integration, the product features three software configurable hardware-interface options, industry standard serial, basic parallel, and PCMCIA interfaces. The module is also equipped with industry-standard MMCX connectors to support the widest range of antenna options.

The OEM Module contains a complete network stack to manage fast wireless connections using standard network protocols, including, TCP/IP, UDP, and LDP. In addition to automatic protocol formatting and management features to reduce software support design requirements, the product's power management features will allow designers to program device response based on application requirements for either stationary or mobile battery-powered device applications.
