Motorola announced today the launch of the W24 M2M wireless module, which is designed to meet customer demand for cost-effective and secure Wi-Fi access for wireless broadband communications.

From the press release:

"The W24 module conforms to Motorola's vision of supporting all technologies with a common form factor, thereby enabling smooth and fast integration into M2M applications, including fleet management, security, automation and remote control, and vending machines.

The W24 provides M2M applications with high speed throughput and secure access to IP networks via wireless LANs or via cellular networks when connected to the G24 GSM family of modules. The module also supports seamless Wi-Fi - cellular data routing by linking a local subnet to the Internet via a single cellular connection, thus enabling linkage between local area network (WLAN) and wide area network (WAN)."
