Alpha Micro MatchPort b/g Pro for remote secure control

Alpha Micro Components has added the MatchPort b/g Pro to its line of networking products.

The MatchPort b/g Pro allows a range of machines to be managed and controlled remotely over a network with an added level of security.

The secure embedded WiFi networking module features SmartRoam that continuously tracks the radio signal strength of access points within range. Pre-authentication and caching enables smooth and automatic transition to an access point with a stronger signal, enhancing mobile reliability while minimising communication disruption for the user.

MatchPort b/g Pro handles the most computationally demanding or data intensive applications effortlessly with a 32-bit, 159 MIPS (Dhrystone 2.1) 166MHz processor.

With 8 MB of SDRAM and 8 MB flash, it provides enough memory capacity for OEM customisation, loading web pages, and data 'store and forward' applications.

It features two serial input ports with 230kbit/s data rate capability, seven control pins (CP/GPIO), and a wide operational temperature range of -40 to 70 deg C, with the option to operate up to 85 deg C with lower MTBF (mean time between failures).
