A Feature Rich, Deployment Ready Wi-Fi® Networking and Web Application Server
PremierWave EN is a high performance Industrial ready ARM 9 System-on-Module suitable for M2M applications. It is offered as a small removable module with integrated Flash and RAM and dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n capabilities. The PremierWave EN is an ideal solution for embedded applications that require simple development, ease of use and a proven robust high performing solution with network connectivity. Developers can save time and reduce the complexity of developing subsystems with high speed memory and Ethernet and Wi- Fi networking that can be easily integrated into real products.
The Power of Linux
All PremierWave EN System-On-Modules come preloaded with Full Embedded Linux and U-Boot making it simple and easy to add custom software and applications. Full source code of the Linux BSP is provided, along with a Linux cross-development environment. The PremierWave EN can use GNU C/C++ tool chain for Linux and Windows or similar and supports third-party SDK.
Bulletproof Security
With an unmatched portfolio of security technologies, PremierWave EN goes far beyond compliance with the popular 802.11i, WPA and WPA2 wireless security specifications. It ensures data integrity and privacy for highly sensitive requirements such as medical or financial applications.
- IEEE 802.11i-compliant radio with AES-CCMP and TKIP encryption
- PSK and complete suite of 802.1x Extensible Authentication
- Protocols (EAP) including EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP, and EAP-PEAP
- End-to-end SSL TLS and SSH tunneling
SmartRoam to Enable Seamless Mobile Connectivity
With exclusive SmartRoam technology,* PremierWave EN continuously tracks the signal strength of access points (AP) within range. If necessary, preauthentication and caching enables smooth and automatic transition to an access point with a stronger signal. This enhances mobility within a building, warehouse or across a campus network with less time spent re-authenticating due to a lost connection or re-associating to a stronger signal.
* Feature will be available on future firmware release.
Scan, Gather and Report Radio Parameters
With an unmatched portfolio of security technologies, PremierWave EN scans current AP and Received Signal Strength radio parameters, as well as authentication and negotiated encryption types for the current association, and displays them on a web page. This enables remote technicians to diagnose problems as they occur and troubleshoot over any IP network without a service call, reducing support costs and unnecessary visits.
Web Server Technologies
Featuring Linux, PremierWave’s integrated CGI-capable web server transforms a standalone device into a networked product that can be managed remotely via a standard web browser. CGI capability enables users to remotely monitor and collect information from the device in real-time and send the information to dynamic web pages.
Flexible & Intelligent Design
The PremierWave EN is a 400MHz ARM9 processor with up to 64Mbyte of SDRAM and up to 256Mbyte of NAND Flash. Included is a Dual Band 802.11 a/b/g/n with an on-board antenna and option for external antennas and diversity, two serial interfaces (up to 921 kbps), USB 2.0 Full speed Host/Device Port, SPI and I2C interfaces. PremierWave EN provides the flexibility to locate the antenna and connector based on design requirements. PremierWave EN also includes a user-controlled, intelligent power management option to shut down the radio during periods of inactivity, minimizing current power consumption.
FCC Certified for Immediate Deployment
PremierWave EN is module-certified by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enabling OEMs to leverage the Lantronix FCC license grant and bypass 802.11 regulatory testing. PremierWave EN has been pre-tested for European telecommunications regulations.
