DPAC Technologies Introduces the First Wireless Web-Enabled Wi-Fi Module Drop-In Solution.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers GARDEN GROVE Garden Grove, city (1990 pop. 143,050), Orange co., S Calif., a suburb of Long Beach and Los Angeles, on the Santa Ana River; founded 1877, inc. 1956. Many of its residents work in nearby aerospace and defense installations, and there is light manufacturing. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2003 New 802.11b Wireless Module Provides the Ideal Solution to Quickly Add Local Area Network (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ) Connectivity to Industrial, Scientific, Medical, and Automotive Applications DPAC DPAC Denver Performing Arts Complex (CO, USA aka: DCPA) DPAC Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (insurance) DPAC District Parent Advisory Committee DPAC Dover Partnership Against Crime Technologies Corp. (Nasdaq:DPAC) -- Capitalizing on the company's extensive expertise in high volume stacking technology and system-level board design, DPAC Technologies(R) today introduced the industry's first line of fully integrated Wi-Fi modules designed specifically for industrial, scientific, medical and automotive applications. The new line of modules called Airborne(TM) were developed to be an easy drop-in solution that can cost-effectively and quickly provide local area network (LAN) and Internet connectivity to a wide range of non-consumer electronic applications. Fully integrated, the new Airborne(TM) modules include a radio, base-band processor, an application processor and software for a complete web-enabled Wi-Fi solution. Since there's no need to develop the software or the RF/Communications expertise in-house, OEM's can realize reduced development costs and quick time-to-market. The 38mm x 27mm x 12 mm module makes Airborne easy to embed into existing designs. The module is interoperable with industry standard 802.11b access points that provide a low-cost infrastructure for connection to a LAN or the Internet. The built-in TCP/IP stack An implementation of the TCP/IP communications protocol. Network architectures designed in layers, such as TCP/IP, OSI and SNA, are called "stacks." See TCP/IP, OSI model and protocol stack. , RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. and application software provide embedded devices with instant LAN and Internet connectivity without special programming of the module -- only simple configuration is required which is done through DPAC's custom HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. interface. An integrated web server makes it easy to remotely monitor and control any device using a standard browser. Additionally, the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and can create custom web pages that deliver content from their application. "By utilizing our Airborne module, customers who sell up to 50,000 units of their product in a year can substantially reduce their development time, cost and risks," said Brett Trowbridge, vice president for DPAC. "Our customers can cut their development time from nine months to eight weeks and translate this benefit into bottom line profits." Allen Nogee, principal analyst at InStat/MDR said, "A highly integrated module such as Airborne would definitely save time and costs for industrial and medical OEM's that are looking to add wireless capability to their products. The inclusion of the RTOS, application software, web server and TCP/IP Stack are key differentiators when compared to other available 802.11b modules." Equipment with an embedded Airborne module can be monitored and controlled by a handheld device, by a PC in a central location or over the Internet. This eliminates cabling and allows the equipment to be mobile. Additionally, email or text messaging Sending short messages to a smartphone, pager, PDA or other handheld device. Text messaging implies sending short messages generally no more than a couple of hundred characters in length. can be used to advise appropriate personnel of urgent conditions or status of the equipment. DPAC will begin volume production of commercial and industrial temp versions in 4Q'03 with pricing starting below $80 for quantities of 10,000 units. Samples are available now, with evaluation kits available end of 3Q'03. DPAC will also provide a full set of development tools.
