Does Laird Connectivity have plans to get KCC approval for the Sterling-LWB, Sterling-EWB or the Sterling-LWB5 modules?
Currently, there are no plans to get the KCC certifications for Sterling-LWB, Sterling-EWB or the Sterling-LWB5.
Does the Sterling EWB support Enterprise Security? If so, what EAP types are supported.
Yes, it does. Per the Cypress' "Enterprise Security User Guide", which is included with the WICED SDK, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS are PEAPv0-MSCHAPv2 are supported.
Does the Sterling EWB support simultaneous AP and STA operation?
Yes it does. This can be easily tested with the apsta sample app that's included with the WICED SDK. The sample app can be found in the ..\WICED-Studio-Folder\43xxx_Wi-Fi\apps\snip\apsta folder. Note when using this feature, the AP and STA has to be on the same channel.
