1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the pioneer of the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WIFI with
Bluetooth 5.2 combo SDIO and UART LGA Module --- AW-CM358AN. The AW-CM358AN IEEE
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WIFI with Bluetooth 5.2 combo module is a highly integrated wireless local area
network (WLAN) solution to let users enjoy the digital content through the latest wireless technology
without using the extra cables and cords. It combines with Bluetooth 4.2 and provides a complete
2.4GHz Bluetooth system which is fully compliant to Bluetooth 4.2 and v2.1 that supports EDR of
2Mbps and 3Mbps for data and audio communications. It enables a high performance, cost
effective, low power, compact solution that easily fits onto the SDIO and UART combo LGA module.
Generic interfaces include SDIO 3.0 and high-speed UART interfaces for connecting WLAN and
Bluetooth technologies to the host processor.
AW-CM358AN uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level
of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE
802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using AW-CM358AN. In addition to the
support of WPA/WPA2/WPA3 and WEP 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, It also supports the IEEE
802.11i security standard through the implementation of Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES)/Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP), AES/Galois/Counter Mode Protocol (GCMP),
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES)/Cipher-Based Message Authentication Code (CMAC), and WLAN Authentication
and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) security mechanisms. For video, voice, and multimedia
applications, 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS) is supported. The device also supports 802.11h
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for detecting radar pulses when operating in the 5 GHz range.
Wireless home audio and video entertainment systems including DVT, set-top boxes, blue-ray DVD
players, media servers, and gaming consoles. Mobile routers and Internet of Things (IoT) gateways.
AW-CM358AN module adopts NXP’s latest highly-integrated WLAN & Bluetooth SoC---88W8987.
All the other components are implemented by all means to reach the mechanical specification
required.
