Products: Getting Connected with Wi-Fi


Buy from our Online Store

Start with low power chip technology, then build on it, with innovative architecture that takes care of the Wi-Fi connectivity and offloads your application processor, and what do you get? A line of products that offer simplicity, ultra low power, and fast design turnarounds - at the lowest possible cost - GainSpan Embedded Wi-Fi.

We'll keep you unplugged but well connected, whatever your requirements. Our Wi-Fi family for embedded systems designers includes the GS1011 chip and GS1011M and GS1500M module products, full suite of software, and complete solutions and development kits.

At the heart of our family is the GS1011 Wi-Fi SoC, a highly integrated and lowest power Wi-Fi solution available on the market today. Built from the ground up, the chip's innovative architecture features dual-core ARM processors - one dedicated to the wireless LAN and the other to support networking services. The Wi-Fi chip handles all Wi-Fi functionalities, networking and security stacks, accelerating wireless device development cycles.

Our GS1011M 802.11b and GS1500M 802.11 b/g/n fully certified Wi-Fi module product families eliminate the cost and complexity typically associated with adding Wi-Fi, while delivering low power. Our modules let embedded designers quickly and easily add Wi-Fi connectivity to any 8-32-bit microcontrollers - in essence giving them plug-and-play integration of Wi-Fi into such platforms through SPI or UART interfaces. Partner modules incorporating our GS1011 SoC are also available to accommodate a variety of needs.

And our software suite includes both embedded software and serial-to-Wi-Fi software, which allows a device microcontroller to access a Wi-Fi network via a serial connection to the chips and modules.

Development and evaluation kits, tools and software - take your pick. Everything you need to easily evaluate, develop and deploy with GainSpan is at your disposal. Adding wireless connectivity has never been easier.
