DESCRIPTION
WF121 is a self-contained Wi-Fi module
providing a fully integrated 2.4GHz 802.11
b/g/n radio and a 32-bit microcontroller (MCU)
platform, making it an ideal product for
embedded applications requiring simple, low-
cost and low-power wireless TCP/IP
connectivity. WF121 also provides flexible
interfaces for connecting to various
peripherals.
WF121 allows end user applications to be
embedded onto the on-board 32-bit
microcontroller using a simple BGScript
TM
scripting. This cuts out the need of an
external MCU and allows the development of
smaller and lower-cost products. However
WF121 can also be used in modem-like mode
in applications where the external MCU is
needed.
With an integrated 802.11 radio, antenna,
single power supply, and regulatory
certifications, WF121 provides a low-risk and
fast time-to-market for applications requiring
Internet connectivity. This combined with
Bluegiga’s excellent customer service will turn
your Internet-of-Things applications into
reality.
