HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. - Motorola, Inc. today announced the latest addition to its wireless infrastructure portfolio - the LA-5127 Wireless Networker(tm) CompactFlash (CF) client radio card with 802.11b/g connectivity. Optimized for embedded, enterprise-class mobile applications, the LA-5127 Wireless Networker CF client radio card offers enhanced Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) enterprise mode security and features that enable enterprise mobility for traditionallynon-wireless equipment such as mobile printers, weight scales, instrumentation, healthcare monitoring devices and other application-specific equipment needing reliable and secure wireless network connectivity.
The LA-5127 Wireless Networker is the first model in a new portfolio of enterprise wireless client cards based on a common platform and a worldwide radio that reduces network system workload. Sold directly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a software development kit, the LA-5127 Wireless Networker is designed for embedding within enterprise and industrial products. In addition, a common platform and single radio architecture allows OEMs to leverage software for the LA-5127 to adopt new features and migrate to new radios in the future.
The LA-5127 Wireless Networker enables OEMs to build custom end-products - used in vertical markets including healthcare, transportation and logistics, warehousing and distribution, and retail - to transmit critical information from the point of business activity.
"With many WLAN cards available on the market, you need to carefully select the product line designed to support mission-critical mobility applications," said Giancarlo Micheletti, chief technology officer of Datalogic, a leading manufacturer of barcode readers and portable terminals for data capture and OEM partner of Symbol.
