WIZnet is a Korean IC design house that produces hardware-TCP/IP-stack ICs and modules to simplify the networking of embedded products. Why offload the TCP/IP stack from software routines into hardware chip? To get stable, instant connectivity that doesn’t crash. It’s also the only connectivity solution that can be used in OS-less instant-on devices, many that must not have a boot-up delay (like set-top video boxes). Offloading also speeds up your processor and removes the need to handle frequent interrupts. No stack-overloads (hack-proof!), no license fees, low-cost, with speeds up to 50Mbps, WIZnet ICs have been selected by manufacturers worldwide as the best solution for Ethernet-enabling OS-less devices – you can now Internet-enable almost anything… WIZnet has now expanded its focus beyond its existing wired product line. For instance, WIZ610wi is an 802.11bg WLAN Access Point module a pin-head package - now Serial-to-WLAN is easily implemented via a UART interface. WIZnet’s W7100 CPU + Ethernet chip now combines an 8051 core with offloaded TCP/IP for stable, reliable control and measurement products.
