6 100-8026-100G Airborne 802.11b/g Value Radio Databook Revision 1.0
1.0 Overview
Airborne™ is a line of highly integrated 802.11 radios and modules. Airborne™ Radio
Modules deliver a high performance, integrated solution for consumer and industrial
wireless applications using the latest IEEE 802.11b/g platforms. They deliver both cost
and space efficient solutions using a small profile design and a direct down SMT high
density header connection to the system board.
The WLRG-RA-DP101 product family is a complete high-speed wireless solution that
uses a proven 802.11b/g chipset (8385/8015) from Marvell. It provides backward
compatibility with the 802.11b DSSS standard and adds the 802.11g OFDM (Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing) standard support. This chip set includes integrated
antenna connectors that provide a direct connection from the radio to the antenna. This
bypasses the system board, which simplifies the integrator’s board design. The radio is a
true upgrade option because no soldered connections are required. It can be upgraded in
the field or added to a managed product configuration.
The latest addition to the Airborne Value family provides a Compact Flash+ (PC16) host
interface and is directly, plug-in compatible with the Airborne WLRB-RA-DP101 802.11b
product.
Designed specifically with power, performance and flexibility in mind, the Airborne value
radio family provides the ability to match hardware configuration with device
performance, in a cost efficient solution.
