Silex Technology has announced plug-and-play Wi-Fi connectivity solutions for Freescale Semiconductor i.MX 6 series processors. This technology which includes the Silex SX-SDCAN-2830BT was demonstrated at the Freescale Technology Forum June 18 -20, 2012 in San Antonio, Texas.

Silex is a Qualcomm Atheros Authorized Design Center (ADC) who offers secure and high-reliability wireless solutions for device manufacturers that want to add Wi-Fi connectivity to portable devices for medical, printer, weights and measures, and other applications.

The Silex SX-SDCAN-2830BT 802.11a/b/g/n SDIO card module is the Freescale suggested solution for Wi-Fi connectivity. Freescale's i.MX 6 development platforms combine a reference driver to minimize the engineering time and effort required to productize solutions such as Silex’s Wi-Fi technology.

Silex offers a turnkey, one-vendor solution for better connectivity and engineering support. It includes:
1. Driver software available with Freescale i.MX6 development systems
2. 802.11a/b/g/n low-power SDIO card module based on Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 radio
3. Engineering services for custom applications and support

The SX-SDCAN and other Silex radio modules based on the Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 have been released to production and are immediately available.
