WiFi

Technology is evolving constantly, with regular changes in specifications. Avnet Silica offers a full range of WiFi products, including chips, modules and devices, along with a full technology range from WiFi4 to WiFi6e. Some products are combinations of technologies such as WiFi with Bluetooth, but some new generations also combining with other radios like 802.15.4. based Thread and Zigbee. The newest products most commonly support dual frequency, with a few supporting only 2.4 GHz.

Even with the constant updates, transition is smooth as not all applications require the newest standards. Most products are host controlled devices but some also support embedded software stacks, which means that they can work as a stand-alone solution.

On our linecard, Chip supplier Dialog can offer very low power consumption, Microchip, the embedded solution, whilst NXP and onsemi cover the high-end roadmap. In addition to Chips, our portfolio includes solder down modules, as well as pluggable modules in Mini-PCIe and M.2 Formfactor. We also support Routers and Gateways to connect the local WiFi network to the infrastructure.
