RM5: 802.11 b/g wifi CF module, Marvell 88w8385+88w8015

RM5 is an IEEE802.11b/g wifi proprietary CF module in 2.0cm x 2.0cm small form factor designed specifically for integration in application-specific devices (ASDs) used in vertical market. RM5 has Bluetooth coexistence function by directly connect to Bluetooth with another two control signals and no extra pull high /low resistor required. It provides the highest flexibility and extensibility to implement WiFi/Bluetooth coexistence. The small 2.0cm x 2.0cm dimension design can be easily integrated into the system with a board-to-board connector. WinCE 4.2/5.0 and Linux driver support enable ASD manufacturers to provide products that enjoy improved innovation and time to market through trouble-free WiFi integration.
