Embedded Dual Band Wireless
Device Server and Ethernet Solution Modules
Serial & Ethernet to 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz)
The AirborneM
2
M line of highly-integrated 802.11 wireless modules allows
OEMs to Wi-Fi enable devices used in a variety of machine-to-machine (M
2
M)
applications. Advantech delivers all the necessary RF technology, networking
stacks and advanced security features in a compact, single-board package,
reducing integration costs for OEMs and providing a quick time to market.
Big Performance in Small, Ruggedized Package
The AirborneM
2
M series provides the industry’s most rugged, highly-integrated,
embedded WiFi module solution. AirborneM
2
M modules meet extended
operating temperature specifications of the most demanding M
2
M applications.
Utilizing a 32-bit ARM9 processor and high-performance Atheros AR6203
802.11 radio, AirborneM
2
M modules deliver increased transmit power and
receive sensitivity contributing to superior range performance.
SpeedLink
™
Roaming
AirborneM
2
M SpeedLink roaming feature provides enhanced connection
reliability, enabling OEM devices to roam freely within a wireless network
without loss of data or connection.
Flexible & Easy to Integrate
AirborneM
2
M incorporates support for both serial and Ethernet to WiFi 802.11
2.4 or 5 GHz communications. Utilizing AirborneM
2
M PortFlex capability, OEMs
can configure via software any combination of UART, SPI, Ethernet, GPIO and
802.11 interfaces. Each individual port can be independently configured. A
development kit is also available to aid developers (sold separately).
The AirborneM
2
M modules are footprint and pin compatible with their
predecessors. Our commitment to maintaining hardware and software
compatibility assures OEMs of a simple, future-proof migration path even as
wireless technology evolves.
All product specifications are subject to change without notice.

Enterprise Class Security
Security protocols are important to mission-critical wireless M
2
M applications.
The AirborneM
2
M multi-layered security approach addresses the requirements
of enterprise-class networks and corporate IT departments. These advanced
security features include wireless security (801.11i/WPA2 Enterprise); network
security (EAP authentication and certificate support); communication security
(SSH functionality and fully encrypted data tunnels); and device security (multi-
level encryption capability to protect configuration data).
