San Jose, CA, September 27, 2007 — Connect One™, the Device Networking Authority™, and Wi2Wi , an industry leader in small form factor, multiple radio wireless SiP devices and modules, today released Secure Socket iWiFi, a new embedded serial-to-WiFi device server that quickly and easily connects devices running machine-to-machine (M2M) applications to 802.11b/g wireless LANs. By using state-of-the-art packaging and coexistent innovations, Connect One and Wi2Wi have established a new price point for iWiFi connections, offering the lowest cost WiFi connectivity available. In addition to breaking the price point for WiFi connectivity, Secure Socket iWiFi set new standards in protecting M2M applications from network attacks.
Secure Socket iWiFi uses Connect One’s iChipSec CO2128 Internet Protocol (IP) communication controller chip—which includes the latest encryption, hardware internalized security and full suite of Internet protocols and applications—as a firewall and Wi2Wi’s W2SW0001 Wireless LAN Module, which is based on a leading vendor of WiFi chipsets. Enabling devices that use communication modules in the industry-standard SocketModem form factor, Secure Socket iWiFi can be integrated into a wireless LAN network with minimal programming.
Although many off-the-shelf, third-party software libraries add WiFi connectivity to Windows or Linux PC-based applications, Connect One can effectively and quickly WiFi-enable non-PC devices that use other embedded real-time operating systems. Secure Socket iWiFi overcomes time and complexity barriers by unbundling the wireless and security drivers from the application. To use Connect One’s serial-to-WiFi device server, designers do not need to significantly reprogram applications since Connect One’s iChipSec CO2128 and high-level AT+i API offload the WiFi drivers, WPA supplicant, security and networking protocols, and communication tasks from the host application. iChipSec CO2128 integrated, hardware-based SSL encryption engine assure end-to-end secure data transfers, even over the Internet. iChipSec CO2128 also acts as a firewall-in-a-chip, protecting the application from networks attacks.
