The AirborneM2M line of highly-integrated 802.11 wireless modules allow OEMs to Wi-Fi enable devices used in an array of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. B&B delivers all of the necessary RF technology, networking stacks and advanced security features in a compact, single-board package, reducing integration costs for OEMs and providing for a quick time to market.

Big Performance in Small and Ruggedized Package
The AirborneM2M series delivers the industry's most rugged, highly- integrated, embedded Wi-Fi module solution. AirborneM2M modules meet extended operating temperature and shock/vibration specifications of the most demanding M2M applications.

Utilizing a 32bit ARM9 processor and the high-performance Atheros AR6203 802.11 radio, the new AirborneM2M modules deliver increased transmit power and receive sensitivity, contributing to superior range performance.

SpeedLink™ Roaming
The new AirborneM2M SpeedLink roaming feature provides enhanced connection reliability, enabling OEM devices to roam freely within a wireless network without loss of data or connection.

Flexible & Easy to Integrate
AirborneM2M incorporates support for both serial and Ethernet to Wi-Fi 802.11 2.4 or 5 GHz communications. Utilizing AirborneM2M PortFlex capability, OEMs may configure via software any combination of UART, SPI, Ethernet, GPIO and 802.11 interfaces. Each individual port can be independently configured.

Introduction

LPWAN is a type of wireless telecommunication wide area network designed to allow long range communications at a low data rate among IoT applications, such as sensors operated on a battery. Its benefits is to offer multi-year battery lifetime for sensors/ applications to send small amounts of data over long distances a few times per hour suitable for different environments. Private LoRa and LoRaWAN are one of category of LPWAN which belong to the non-cellular LPWAN wireless communication network protocols enables very long range transmissions with low power consumption, operating in the non-licensed spectrum.

Star Topology

The LoRaWAN networks in a star topology have gateway relaying the data between the sensor nodes and the network server. Communication between the sensor nodes and the gateway goes over the wireless channel utilizing the LoRa physical layer, whilst the connection between the gateways and the central server are handled over a backbone IP-based network. The LoRaWAN end nodes(sensors) typically use Low Power and are battery powered (Class A and Class C). LoRa embedded sensors that run on batteries that lasts from 2-5 years typically. The LoRa sensors can transmit signals over distances from 1km-10km.

The Cisco® Hyperlocation solution delivers unprecedented 1- to 3-meter Wi-Fi client location accuracy, depending on deployment. It provides always-on advanced security scanning and spectrum intelligence, and multiple Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons. And now, with the addition of client applications downloaded to the mobile device, location updates take place in near real time. The Hyperlocation modules include:

• Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security
• Hyperlocation Antenna

Product Overview

The same business and personal benefits that GPS and mobile map services have brought to the outdoors are now being realized in the indoor enterprise space. The applications are numerous, and they include wayfinding in malls, hospitals, and hotels; flexible employee workspace use; tracking wait times at airport security lines; retail product placement; etc. To date the solutions that cater to these applications have multiple challenges and limitations, such as coarse 5- to 10-meter accuracy and slow location refresh, along with nonstandard expensive approaches using video and RF technology. Occasionally, these solutions cleverly use battery-powered BLE beacons that, although simple in concept, are logistically and operationally onerous.

The Cisco Hyperlocation solution introduces hardware and software innovation that can deliver 1- to 3-meter location accuracy for associated Wi-Fi clients, depending on deployment. This solution takes advantage of existing Cisco Wi-Fi networks and can be centrally managed. The Cisco Hyperlocation Module with Advanced Security also integrates BLE beacons with the module. Customers can take advantage of hassle-free BLE beacon deployment that is powered over Ethernet and centrally managed from the convenience of a data center. This model eliminates the need for local IT engineers to do a walk-by inspection of BLE beacon health using applications on their smart devices. Cisco Hyperlocation brings virtual beacon technology so that a single Hyperlocation module provides five different BLE beacons for consumer applications. With this five-beacon advantage, a retail store can have unique applications developed for a shopper, a vendor who fills the merchandise aisle, and retail staff doing routine price checks.
