Nano Socket iWiFi G2 N2 –Datasheet
12
3. Typical Applications
Adding IP communications over WiFi to serial embedded devices.
Replacing a LAN cable with a WiFi connection.
Adding SSL security to M2M solutions.
LAN to WiFi Bridge - allowing transparent bridging of LAN client over WiFi (Cable replacement),
using direct RMII connection to existing MAC hardware or direct PHY-to-PHY connection.
SerialNet
TM
Serial to WiFi Bridge - allowing transparent bridging of Serial over WiFi, using a 3Mbps
fast UART. This is a true plug-and-play mode that eliminates any changes to the host application.
PPP modem emulation – allowing existing (i.e. modem) designs currently using PPP to connect
transparently over WiFi.
Full Internet Controller mode – allowing simple MCU to use the Nano Socket iWiFi G2 N2’s rich
protocol and application capabilities to perform complex Internet operations such as E-mail, FTP,
SSL, embedded Web server and others. It also acts as a firewall, providing a security gap between
the application and the network.
