AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the first IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN, Bluetooth and FM combo module - AW-GH600A. The module is targeted to mobile devices including, Digital Still Cameras (DSCs), Portable Media Players (PMPs), and Gaming Devices, mobile phones which need small footprint package, low power consumption, multiple OS support. By using AW-GH600A, customers can easily enable Wi-Fi, BT and FM embedded applications with the benefits of high design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick time-to-market.

Compliance with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard, AW-GH600A uses DSSS, OFDM, DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using AW-GH600A. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 (personal) and WEP/WEP2 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, AW-GH600A also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through AES and TKIP acceleration hardware for faster data encryption. AW-GH600A is also Cisco Compatible Extension (CCX) certified. For video, voice and multimedia applications, AW-GH600A supports 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS).

For Bluetooth operation, AW-GH600A is Bluetooth 2.1+Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) compliant. AW-GH600A supports extended Synchronous Connections (eSCO), for enhanced voice quality by allowing for retransmission of dropped packets, and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) for reducing radio frequency interference. It provides easier access to connect devices, lower power consumption and improved security.

For FM receiver, AW-GH600A is 76-MHz to 108-MHz FM bands supported and supports the European Radio Data Systems (RDS) and the North American Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) modulations.
