G2 Microsystems: Wi-Fi Made Simple

One of only two technologies recognized in the Best Communications / Wireless category by Electronic Design magazine editors, and winner of the Best Wireless Chip designation, the G2C547 system-on-a-chip is G2 Microsystems’ first in its Epsilon family of Wi-Fi chips that make it easy for manufacturers to embed Wi-Fi connectivity into almost anything. Jason Crawford, G2's Director of Applications, discusses the benefits of the ultra low-power SoC (system-on-a-chip) as well as their new G2M5477 Wi-Fi module that helps developers easily create a final working product. Also watch this episode: G2 Microsystems: Embedded Wi-Fi. For more information, go to: G2 Microsystems.

    So does it use UART?

    Yes. The demo in the video is based on a UART, however the module supports SPI (master and slave) and SDIO.

    Your module lets you get on a WAN; which requires an access point? This is not a WiFi PAN, right? Is there any peer-to-peer connectivity?

    Thanks.
