The SX-SDPAG is an 802.11a/b/g radio/baseband SDIO Surface Mount Module designed specifically for OEM embedded appllications.  Features include: 

• Ultracompact highly integrated system for 802.11a/b/g WLAN
• Very low power consumption for applications like battery operated devices
• Diversity antenna option

The Silex SX-SDPAG 802.11a/b/g wireless module is designed for OEMs who need a highly compact wireless radio/baseband solution with very low power consumption. This surface mount module contains all major components necessary to implement 802.11a/b/g wireless connectivity, including a radio, baseband processor, power amplifier, low pass filter, bandpass filter, crystal, and EEPROM. SX-SDPAG's diversity antenna option gives you better and wider wireless coverage.

SX-SDPAG is ideal for low power / battery operated devices like portable medical devices, RFID readers, mobile printers, and more.

The SX-SDPAG is designed to be directly mounted to an OEM's PCB to minimize size and cost. It features an industry-standard SDIO bus interface, and is pre-tuned for ease of design and manufacturing. In order to expedite your product development process, Silex can also provide both hardware and software engineering services, as well as turnkey product design and manufacturing.

Custom Driver Development

Because of the many hardware and software variables (for example, processor type, I/O controller, operating system version, etc.) there is no "one size fits all" driver for the SX-SDPAG. As a result, Silex offers custom programming services to port our drivers to your hardware platform. We have significant experience with Linux, Windows CE, VxWorks, pSOS, ITRON, and other real-time operating systems, so we can get the job done quickly and efficiently.
