The COMPACT is a complete and fully certified module that offers a quick, easy and cost effective solution to OEMs to enable Wi-Fi connectivity into their systems. The COMPACT KEY supports WPA/WPA2-PSK and WEP security modes.

The module is a complete IEEE 802.11bgn device server that directly provides a wireless interface for data transfer and control of equipments. It integrates WLAN protocol and configuration functionality to make a fully WLAN solution.

Also the module permits ad hoc operation mode allowing Wi-Fi devices to connect to one another without an access point, for the transfer of data at any time and anywhere.

Ad-hoc operation mode

Two or more devices that connect using wireless network devices without the use of a centralized wireless access point.
A wireless device network that has no server or central hub or router. All the networked devices are equally able to act as a network server or client, and each client computer can talk to all the other wireless computers without having to go through an access point or hub.

Infrastructure operation mode

A wireless access point (WAP) can be used to provide access from a wireless device to a wired network. WAPs are commonly used in larger networks to provide this access.
