CC3100 click
From MikroElektonika Documentation
CC3100 click carries the successor of the highly popular CC3000 module from Texas
Instruments. Its claim to fame was that it simplified WiFi for embedded developers by
integrating multiple Internet Protocols and a Wifi driver with a simple API.
CC3100 inherits all these benefits, and on top of that, adds an updated protocol stack
(support for 802.11n) and cutting edge security features (TLS encryption, hardware
crypto-engine and more).

Features and usage notes
The CC3100 module itself comprises a Wi-Fi Network Processor and Power-
Management Subsystems. This Fully Integrated Module Includes all Required Clocks,
SPI Flash, and Passives.
For wireless reception, CC3100 click has a 2.4 GHz PCB antenna.
CC3100 can function either as an access point, a station (connects to a router), or a
node in a P2P connection. CC3100 click has an online jumper FORCE AP for
configuring the board to work in Access Point mode by default.
