Product overview

With the CU8210-D001-0200 WLAN stick, Beckhoff Industrial PCs can be equipped with a WLAN module
and operated under Windows CE in client mode.

The WLAN stick offers the encrypted exchange of data at a transfer rate of up to 150 Mbit/s and supports
20 MHz and 40 MHz transmission bandwidths. The WLAN stick supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
specifications. The WLAN stick is backward compatible and enables communication with older devices.

The WiFi Direct standard is not supported. This means that no connection can be established between two
WLAN end devices without a central access point.
