SDIO Card
Freescale Recommended Wireless LAN Module
The Silex SX-SDCAN is a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n plus Bluetooth
SDIO card that is based on the SX-SDPAN (Qualcomm Atheros
AR6233). The SX-SDCAN is mechanically designed in a SD card form
factor to provide customers with a vendor independent form factor.
The SX-SDCAN is the only Freescale-recommended wireless connec-
tivity solution for the i.MX 6 evaluation platform which includes
integrated radio software support (driver and security supplicant).
The SX-SDCAN integrates an external 5 GHz Front End Module
(FEM) and is individually tuned to optimize WLAN performance.
The radio module design approach also saves cost as the
SX-SDCAN provides FCC/IC/ETSI/TELEC modular certi cation.
The SX-SDCAN provides superior product quality. Silex has validated
that our design meets IEEE standards and each module is individually
tested during the production process. This ensures that each of our
products will perform to our published speci cation.
In order to expedite your product development process, Silex
can provide both hardware and software engineering services
including custom driver development, as well as turnkey product
design and manufacturing.
