Chapter 1 Introduction
The ThinkCore W300 Series is a line of wireless RISC-based embedded computers that feature
802.11a/b/g WLAN, RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and an Ethernet port in a small, rugged chassis.
In addition, the W321 and W341 models feature an SD slot, and the W341 features two USB 2.0
hosts and one relay output channel.
As part of the W300 Series, your embedded computer is ideal for diverse, machine-to-machine
embedded applications. It enables wireless operation of traditionally wired network and serial
devices and not only provides transparent data transfer, but also numeric computing, protocol
conversion, data processing and even data encryption. You will find it easier to build embedded
systems for distributed peer-to-peer communication, turn wired devices into wireless devices, and
introduce higher mobility and more intelligence to your system. In this chapter, learn about the
capabilities of the embedded computer.
