IEEE802.11b/g compatible wireless LAN module, WL101C, developed

We are pleased to announce the development of an IEEE802.11b/g-compatible wireless LAN module, WL101C, for commencement of marketing in December.  Specifics of this module are given below.

 

Recent market penetration and expansion of wireless LAN with which networks can be easily built have been amazing.

 

This move is seen not only in the consumer market but also in the industrial market, and needs for wireless LANs have rapidly risen.  Increase in demand is prominent with business-purpose information terminals such as order entry terminals, handheld terminals, web terminals and business use printers, above all.

 

Previously, stringency in requirements for sizes and consumption power has restricted employment of wireless LAN modules to a very limited number of equipment.  We developed and commercialized a wireless LAN module for built-in applications in equipment to respond to the need for the possibility of provision of a wireless LAN system in business purpose information terminals.

 

Building wireless networks is a matter of ease with this new product if it is built into various types of information communication terminals.
