Introduction

EmbedAir1000 module by ACKSYS is designed to quickly and easily add an WiFi connectivity to any Ethernet equipment or simply to allow you to build your own industrial WiFi device.

Ready to use standalone, requiring no external software or drivers, EmbedAir1000 reduces dramatically development costs, shorten time to market and guarantees the sustainability of your device. Its long-term availability will ensure you solid returns from investment and allow you to restrict costly operations like design and certification, unlike most commercially available modules on the market.

EmbedAir1000 is an extremely compact state-of-the-art solution and supports WiFi access point, client, repeater & MESH point modes. These functions can be operated simultaneously. EmbedAir1000 offers routing, filtering and advanced security features including 802.11i (EAP authentication with Radius server/WPA/WPA2 Enterprise), tunnels with fully encrypted data, firewall, VLAN...

Its high-speed 802.11n + 802.11ac WiFi interfaces support any kind of Ethernet based protocols such as UDP, TCP, Profi net, Modbus/TCP, Safe Ethernet, Ethernet IP...

EmbedAir1000 meets the industrial requirements (shocks, vibrations, large temperature range, long-lasting product design...) of applications such as onboard computers, CCTV, medical equipment, mining equipment, military DCE, explosion proof devices...
Its fast roaming feature (<30ms) makes it also ideal for any kind of mobile applications such as AGVs for example.
