Silicon Labs Announces It's Sampling Pre-Certified Wi-Fi Modules, Transceivers

Silicon Labs said Wednesday it’s sampling its Wi-Fi portfolio of modules and transceivers. The Wireless Gecko products are said to use half the Wi-Fi power of competitors, have built-in security features and superior RF blocking performance and offer a simplified operating system, developer tools and certification process. The Wi-Fi modules are pre-certified for operation worldwide to reduce development time, effort and risk, Silicon Labs said. Applications include battery-operated IP security cameras, point-of-sale scanners, asset trackers and personal medical devices, it said. Production quantities are due in Q2, it said.
