802.11b Wi-Fi® Tower System Module (GainSpan)

Overview

This development board is no longer in production and not recommended for future designs. Please visit Tower^® System Modular Development Board Platform for other options.

Looking for an easy-to-use, low-power, cost-effective way to add 802.11b Wi-Fi connectivity to your designs? The TWR-WIFI-G1011MI peripheral module is the ideal solution for your application development using the Tower System, enabling fast development of internet connected devices.

The fully certified on-board GS1011MIP Wi-Fi module from GainSpan features a highly integrated and low power SoC consuming few µA of standby current and with few ms of wake-up latency for battery operated devices requiring years of battery life. It includes both uART and SPI interfaces, a full Wi-Fi stack including WPS for easy provisioning, Over-the-Air firmware update, optional networking stack and services and 802.11i security.

Evaluation and prototyping with this certified Wi-Fi module and the Tower System lets you add Wi-Fi connectivity to nearly any product quickly and easily.
This peripheral module is designed to be combined and used with other MCU and peripheral modules in the Tower System.
