The Airborne Embedded 802.11b/g SDIO-SPI Radio module is the latest addition to Quatech's line of radios for reliable and high-performing WiFi networking. The product's small form factor, interfaces for both SDIO/SPI and Bluetooth, and rigorous security features make the Airborne Embedded 802.11b/g Radio Module ideal for integrating the latest WiFi technology into designs for power sensitive and hand-held devices used in industrial, medical, surveillance, telematics, and mobile enterprise applications.

The new Airborne radio supports the latest media streaming, roaming, power management and security standards.
