Link controllers are simple solutions for adding Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connectivity. Unlike other Wi-Fi devices like microcontrollers (MCUs) or network controllers, link controllers do not have an on-board network stack. For this reason, they are best used as a companion device to an advanced processor. In many cases, they’re used with microprocessors (MPUs) can also accompany high-performance MCUs.
Because the application and network functions are handled by another device, link controllers are often faster and more cost effective than more complex Wi-Fi products. These qualities make them excellent candidates for industrial applications running on the Linux® Operating System (OS).
In addition to supporting both RTOS and Linux OS, our Wi-Fi link controller modules and SoCs provide robust connectivity, seamless integration and enhanced security.
