SDC-MSD10AG
802.11a/g Mini SDIO Module with Antenna Connectors

*The SDC-MSD10AG has reached end of production and is no longer available.
The SDC-MSD10AG module provides all key hardware and software capabilities in a miniature form factor with an SDIO interface. The module operates in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands supporting IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. Because it uses the same board connector and pin definitions as the MSD10G module, the MSD10AG module provides a smooth upgrade path from 802.11b/g to 802.11a/b/g.

The SDC-MSD10AG 802.11g compliant Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) radio module shares the same hardware and substantially the same software as the SDC-MCF10AG 802.11g compliant Compact Flash (CF) radio module. A single passive component is moved by the manufacturer to select between the SDIO and CF interfaces.

Wi-Fi Alliance
Summit has received an Embedded Client Certification for the following standards: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, WPA (both personal and enterprise), and WPA2/802.11i (both personal and enterprise). For those host devices which include the SDC-MSD10AG, the vendor may assert that their device incorporates a Wi-Fi Certified Embedded Client. The vendor need not be a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance to make this assertion but may not use the "Wi-Fi Certified" logo in conjunction with their device unless they themselves are a Wi-Fi Alliance member.
Device vendors who are members of the Wi-Fi Alliance may also choose to secure a Wi-Fi Alliance certification for their specific device. In this case, the vendor may not leverage the test data or certification for the Summit device. The vendor can, however, use the SDC-MSD10AG test plan as a template, modifying it as necessary for the capabilities of their particular device. By leveraging Summit's "pre-approved" software and test plan, the vendor has a greater assurance that their actual testing will result in an end device certification. Summit will provide consultative services to those vendors who choose to pursue a Wi-Fi Alliance certification for their Summit-equipped devices.
Cisco Compatible Extensions
Summit is a member of the Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) program and has a direct license from Cisco for intellectual property relating to the various versions of the CCX specifications. Summit has submitted the SDC-MSD10AG to an authorized CCX test lab and has been found to be fully compliant with version 4 of the CCX specifications for application specific devices (ASDs). For those host devices which include the SDC-MSD10AG, the vendor may assert that their device incorporates a Cisco Compatible radio module.

Device vendors who are members of the CCX program may also choose to secure CCX compliance for their end device. When incorporating the SDC-MSD10AG into their product with the above software version, the vendor need not be a direct licensee for Cisco intellectual property. Rather, in this case the device vendor need only submit their SDC-MSD10AG enabled device for CCX compliance testing to the version 4 test plan for ASDs. By leveraging Summit's "pre-approved" software and by testing to the same plan, the vendor has a greater assurance that their actual testing will result in an end device compliance. Summit will provide consultative services to those vendors who choose to pursue CCX compliance for their Summit-equipped devices.
