WiLink™ Solutions

The certified Wilink8 modules family from TI offer high throughput and extended range along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth coexistence in a power-optimized design. The WL18xxMOD offer a Wi-Fi, dual-band, 2.4 and 5 GHz module solution with two antennas supporting industrial temperature grades. The device is FCC, IC, ETSI/CE, and TELEC certified for AP (with DFS support) and client. TI offers drivers for high-level operating systems, such as Linux®, Android™, WinCE, and RTOS.

Performance and low power: 100 Mbps with lowest power consumption (800 µA idle)
Certified and ready to use: Certified modules and pre-integrated software enable fastest time to market
Integrated and scalable: Single-chip multi-combo with pin-to-pin compatible variants in consumer, industrial, and automotive grade.
