Silex Technology is a NXP Proven Partner and the only manufacturer of NXP-recommended wireless connectivity technology. Backed by 40+ years of OEM integration experience, Silex Technology offers Wi-Fi connectivity solutions for i.MX 6-based products. As a Qualcomm Atheros Authorized Design Center, Silex Technology has direct access to Qualcomm Atheros design information and support. Silex Technology uses the company's Wi-Fi silicon to create easy-to-implement solutions for the broader NXP customer base. Silex Technology has partnered with "Best in Class" technology companies including Embedded Software Suppliers, Network Infrastructure Providers and Industry Associations to enable us to offer the most comprehensive and complete solutions in the industry.
The Silex Technology SX-SDCAN, a low-power SDIO form factor wireless radio module, was specifically designed for the NXP i.MX 6 evaluation platform. Built on the field-proven Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 802.11a/b/g/n radio, the SX-SDCAN is the only NXP-recommended wireless connectivity solution for i.MX 6. Design engineers can easily implement the SX-SDCAN with NXP i.MX 6 evaluation platforms, which include the Wi-Fi driver and security supplicant software. No engineering development is required to get started with your wireless evaluation on the i.MX 6 platform. The SX-SDCAN is designed and validated to meet IEEE standards, and has been modular certified to save regulatory costs for device manufacturers. Using the SX-SDCAN for wireless connectivity streamlines your development process, getting your product on the shelves before your competitor's.
Silex Technology provides support assistance during the integration process to help our customers get to market, and will troubleshoot post-sale field problems. Silex Technology can also provide an enhanced driver/supplicant for a single-vendor wireless solution.The SX-SDCAN is individually power calibrated and 100% production tested to ensure reliable, high-performance, single-stream, 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi. As a low-power solution, SX-SDCAN is an ideal embedded wireless choice for battery-driven portable products including medical and industrial applications. Wi-Fi security continues to be a concern as more devices add wireless connectivity. Silex Technology wireless solutions offer enterprise-level security with support for the most common encryption and EAP authentication methods, and have validated interoperability for the most common enterprise access points.
Silex Technology offers several options for SDIO single-band and dual-band wireless solutions ranging from an SDIO Card to SDIO Modules and SDIO Systems-in-Packages (SiPs), all based on the proven Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 chip technology.
The SX-SDCAN is mechanically designed in an SD card form factor as a complete, easy-to-use solution that adds wireless connectivity to products in the design evaluation phase.
These modules minimize RF design integration, reduce certification costs and future-proof designs by separating the radio from the device PCBA.
SDIO SIP (SYSTEM-IN-PACKAGE)
These SiPs are ideal for high-volume, low-cost wireless LAN applications. Engineers can mount an SiP directly on the device PCBA, providing the smallest footprint possible for space-constrained devices.
