Motorola LA-5137 Wireless Networker CompactFlash Radio Card

The latest in Motorola's portfolio of client radio cards for embedded mobile applications, the LA-5137 Wireless Networker™ CompactFlash® Radio Card delivers 802.11a/b/g wireless connectivity to medical devices and other mission-critical equipment. It offers robust security in accordance with HIPAA and PCI standards, as well as low power consumption, efficient roaming and load-balancing to maximize device and network availability.

Backed by Motorola's OEM product development support, the LA-5137 is built on the same code base and worldwide radio chipset as the LA-5127 for ease of migration. Its software development kit for Linux and Windows CE can be customized and ported to proprietary operating systems.

802.11a/b/g
Takes advantage of three radio bands when splitting network traffic to optimize security and availability features.

WPA/WPA2 and 802.1x (AES) compatible
Provides robust standards-based security for Linux and Windows applications.

Pre-emptive roaming
Optimized network availability, improved wireless link reliability and enhanced mobility.

Dynamic load balancing
Increased throughput in cluttered, real-world environments.

Power management
Extended operation time on-station between charges.

Limited modular worldwide regulatory approval backed by Motorola service/support
Potentially accelerates time-to-market, reducing product development time and cost.

Comprehensive software development kit
Provides the tools for customizing the LA-5127 for embedded mobile applications.

Design support and technical service
