USI Delivers WICED Module to Gain Great Success Customers

Broadcom’s Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices (WICED) platform (pronounced "wik-id") eases development effort and simplifies the implementation of Wi-Fi connectivity in an array of consumer devices, especially those with no current networking support. The Wi-Fi module, featuring the Broadcom® BCM43362 Wireless LAN MAC/baseband/radio, includes an embedded processor and unique "self-hosted" Wi-Fi networking library and software application stack. WICED-based modules enable the addition of secure, interoperable Wi-Fi functionality via a simple serial port using a basic command set that does not require any significant changes in product micro-controller architectures.

WM-N-BM-09 Module is our first product supporting WICED concept (Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices) which was pointed out by Broadcom. Any device via this module can easily connect to Internet and perform peer-to-peer access with other Wi-Fi devices (like smartphone or tablet). WICED Module is designed for embedded Devices to Reduce Efforts on Internet Connectivity Activation and Shorten Development Cycle on Host Side, main points are

– Wi-Fi/RF Design and Testing Is Managed by Module
– Wi-Fi Driver and Core Function Porting Is Done in Module
– Internet Related Protocol Stack Is Implemented in ModuleThe module is a composite of Broadcom 43362 WiFi and ST Microelectronics2 Cortex-M3 microcontroller fitting in the compact size of 132mm2. Broadcom 43362 is one of the best 802.11n WiFi solutions in the world according to the performance and power consumption. STM3 MCU executes all software protocol stacks related to HTTP/TCP/IP access and Software Access Point (Soft AP) function. By using the common interface (UART, SPI or USB), any host device can leveraging the power of the module to obtain the capability of Internet and peer-to-peer access right away regardless of the instruction set, computing power or RTOS model on host side.
