NGI Navigator (Prototype)

esp32-open-mac

An IEEE 802.11 MAC stack for ESP32 family chips implemented in Rust, providing asynchronous networking capabilities.

Product Information

Description
The esp32-open-mac project implements a complete IEEE 802.11 Media Access Control (MAC) layer specifically designed for ESP32 family microcontrollers, written entirely in the Rust programming language. This open-source stack provides asynchronous networking capabilities, enabling developers to build robust wireless applications with efficient resource management and predictable performance. Key features include full 802.11 protocol compliance, hardware abstraction for ESP32 peripherals, and a modern async/await programming model that simplifies complex network operations while maintaining memory safety through Rust's ownership system. Typical use cases include IoT devices requiring reliable Wi-Fi connectivity, custom wireless protocols, research projects exploring MAC layer modifications, and embedded systems where traditional TCP/IP stacks may be insufficient. The implementation offers fine-grained control over wireless communications while abstracting hardware complexities, making it suitable for both production deployments and experimental networking research on ESP32 platforms.
