GainSpan GS1500M
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
802.11b/g/n Low Power Wi-Fi
®
Module
The GS1500M is a fully certified module offering quick, easy and cost
effective way for OEMs to enable leading edge Wi-Fi connectivity
(802.11b/g/n) in their platforms. The module provides multiple serial
UART or SPI interfaces, enabling connection to any embedded design
utilizing the 8/16/32-bit microcontroller via simple commands. The
GS1500M is an ideal solution for OEMs with limited or no Wi-Fi or RF
expertise. The GS1500M solution dramatically reduces development time
and eliminates the burden of testing and certification, allowing customers
to exclusively focus on their core platforms. The module supports Wi-Fi
PHY rates up to 72.2 Mbps and is fully compliant with 802.11b/g/n and
meets worldwide regulatory requirements. The GS1500M also provides
support for a peer-to-peer networking capabilities allowing Wi-Fi devices
to connect to one another without an access point, enabling easy transfer
of content anytime, anywhere.
Multiple software configurations are available for running a stack or
network services on the module. For applications utilizing a small 8 bit
microcontroller host, the module supports a serial to Wi-Fi function and
runs the full Wi-Fi and TCP/IP networking stacks, completely offloading
the host. For applications utilizing more powerful microcontrollers, the
networking stack and services can reside on the host while the module
provides the IP to Wi-Fi functionality. In addition, it supports
WEP/WPA/WPA2 security, Limited AP mode, Embedded Web Server as
well as Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) for ease of provisioning.
