All-in-One Solution

If your project requires flexible connectivity, then a wireless microcontroller might be a good choice. Wireless MCUs offer multiple functions (including connectivity) in a single chip. In general, decreasing the number of chips (MCU or otherwise) in a design reduces the design difficulty and cost. The primary reason is that the manufacturer is doing some of the work for you. With the right wireless MCU, all you need to do is to power the device on and connect it.

No RF Expertise Needed

To further simplify the design process, consider a wireless MCU module. Though a wireless microcontroller IC can connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other technology, it needs an antenna to broadcast that connection. On its own, building an antenna that performs well is a challenge. Add-in the certifications required and designing your own antenna becomes even more difficult and costly.

Wireless MCU modules remove the RF obstacles associated with IoT design. Our modules require no RF expertise because they include antennas built for optimal RF performance. We further simplify the RF process by getting our modules pre-certified in many countries so that you can bypass the certification process and focus on your product.
