connect one has announced the release of "socket iwifi", a secure serial-to-WiFi embedded device server that quickly and easily connects devices running machine-to-machine (M2M) applications to 802.11b/g wireless LANs and protects them from network attacks.
Socket iWiFi uses Connect One's iChipSec CO711AG Internet Protocol (IP) communication controller chip—with the latest encryption, security and IP protocols—to act as a firewall and WiFi controller for the onboard Marvell 88W8385 WiFi chipset.
Socket iWiFi enables devices that use communication modules in the industry-standard SocketModem form factor to be integrated into a wireless LAN network with a minimum amount of programming, the company said.
Socket iWiFi unbundles the wireless and security drivers from the application and major reprogramming of the application is unnecessary in order to use the serial-to-WiFi device server, since the iChipSec and high-level AT+i API offloads from the host application.
