Silicon Labs WGM160P Wi-Fi® Module

Silicon Labs WGM160P Wi-Fi® Module is an all-inclusive single-device wireless solution, integrating all of the necessary elements required for cloud-connected IoT Wi-Fi applications. The WGM160P Module includes an 802.11b/g/n radio, an integrated chip antenna, all certifications, a microcontroller, Wi-Fi and IP stacks, HTTP server, and multiple protocols, such as TCP and UDP. Co-existence with external 2.4GHz transceivers is also supported.

Silicon Labs WGM160P can concurrently act as a Wi-Fi client and a Wi-Fi access point, which is ideal for user-friendly device provisioning. WGM160P can natively host C-applications, removing the need for an external host controller. Alternatively, the WGM160P Module can run in Network Co-Processor (NCP) mode, leaving the complexity of TCP/IP networking to the module so that the customer's own host controller can be fully dedicated to processing application tasks. The WGM160P Module has highly flexible host and peripheral hardware interfaces for wide application use.

This Module also supports Gecko OS, a comprehensive software suite designed to simplify Wi-Fi, application, device management, and cloud connectivity development process.
