Both the EWM-W192 K1 and K2 are compatible with standard M.2 2230 A-E key form factor connectors, while EWM-C186 K1 connects easily to M.2 3042 key-B for convenient wireless access. Both EWM-W/C models feature FCC and CE-RED certified wireless antennas and cables for system designers seeking wireless solutions in diverse industrial, retail, and medical applications.
Choosing the correct wireless solution is critical when it comes to connectivity between machines. However, finding compatible antennas, cables, and connections can be a challenge for designers who are looking to reduce time-to-market.
Advantech’s EWM-W/C addresses these issues by featuring multiple dipole antennas and cables (EWM-W192 K1 & K2 features 2 x dipole antennas & MHF4 RF connector cables, EWM-C186K1 features 4 x dipole antennas & MFH4 connector cables). This adaptable wireless solution supports easy planning, installation, and management to reduce time-to-market.
In an effort to avoid bottlenecks caused by RF testing, Advantech has also partnered with Intel IoT BU to certify its EWM-W/C wireless solutions. The General Manager of IoT Ecosystem & Channels at Intel, Steen Graham said, “We always want to provide tangible benefits to our customers. Removing certification obstacles at the beginning will reduce their time to market massively.”
As a result, the EWM-W/C wireless solutions satisfy international safety standards for human exposure to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic signals, and are CE RED, FCC, and IC certified, making them suitable for EU, US, and Canadian customers. The streamlining of RF testing necessitates system-level EMC/EMI related tests only. Through leveraging these solutions, customers can streamline their wireless integration process.
Advantech’s wireless team used product ecosystems to test EWM-W/C compatibility before launch to improve market adaptability. EWM-W/C kits have proven to be compatible with numerous embedded computers including EPC-T4286 and EPC-C301. The devices' adaptability and ease of installation make them suitable for kiosk data streaming, factory automation, and machine vision applications.
