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 combo SDIO and UART Stamp Module --- AW-CM358SM. The AW-CM358SM IEEE
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WIFI with Bluetooth 5 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 stamp module.
Generic interfaces include SDIO 3.0 and high-speed UART interfaces for connecting WLAN and
Bluetooth technologies to the host processor.
AW-CM358SM 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-CM358SM. In addition to the
support of WPA/WPA2 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), 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-CM358SM module adopts Marvell’s latest highly-integrated WLAN & Bluetooth SoC---88W8987.
All the other components are implemented by all means to reach the mechanical specification
required.
