Privacy PolicySimple, Secure and Robust Wireless Modules and SoCs
Wireless product designers understand the importance of building easy-to-use products with reliable connectivity. Your success relies on feeling confident about the products you create.
Working with embedded wireless products is complex. You need expertise in:
- Protocol structure and vulnerabilities
- Antenna design and optimization
- Software programming and updates
All these challenges put the success of your product at risk, potentially driving up design time or costs.
Choosing the right wireless connectivity products is key to overcoming these obstacles. It’s easy to feel confident in your design when you’re working with a company that delivers reliable products and gives you easy access to expert support.

Continuous Innovation
Firmware
We continually evolve product firmware to incorporate the latest security enhancements, improve product performance and deliver new features. Our firmware is developed and extensively tested in-house to ensure trouble-free operation.
Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates
We built our Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee® products to be field upgradable via Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates, such as security patches, updates for better access point interoperability, feature enhancements and more, to ensure continued secure and robust operation. Visit our Over-the-Air Updates (OTA) page to learn more.
Voice Activation
Have you dreamed of customers using their Amazon Alexa™ or Google Home™ device to control your application? Make it a reality with our evaluation kits and firmware.
Mobile Apps
From demonstration to productization, our mobile apps allow you to remotely control your Wi-Fi or Bluetooth application with free source code to jump start your own app.
IoT/Cloud
Leverage our ready-made Cloud connectivity kits for Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud IoT and Microsoft Azure to securely enable IoT connectivity to your application. Visit our IoT page to learn more.
Security
Threats to your system are a primary concern for us. We prioritize firmware updates to ensure threats are eliminated quickly, allowing you to keep your designs connected and protected. Visit our Software Vulnerability Response page to learn about how we protect you and your design.
Robust Operation
Compliance
Our products are tested to standards of the Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG and LoRa Alliance to ensure interoperation with all other compliant devices and gateways. See the product page for more information on certifications.
Interoperability
We test our products in our own interoperability labs against hundreds of access points and with the latest mobile phones so that your product ultimately provides a seamless user experience for your customers.
Modules
Pre-certified, fully-tested modules provide a quick and easy way to get your product to market with little to no RF experience while saving you thousands of dollars by removing a majority of certification testing fees. Visit the RED FAQ page for the latest European Certification information.
Hardware Design Guides
Use our guides to develop your design with confidence. Our design guides provide the building blocks to help you achieve agency certification.
Manufacturing and Quality
Firmware Revision Control
To ensure you receive the exact product you designed with, we provide pre-programmed modules with Firmware (FW) versions as part of the orderable part number. Also, we publish recent firmware versions to our product pages, ensuring you can always recover the FW version you need.
EOL Policy
Our wireless products are backed by Microchip's client-driven obsolescence practice of continuing to supply a product for as long as possible and while demand for the product exists.
Reliability/Quality
We follow stringent qualification processes to ensure robust operation throughout the product lifetime, so that your customers can expect the same connectivity experience throughout the life of their device. For additional information on the testing of a particular wireless device, contact your local sales representative.
Support
Our wireless products are directly supported by our integrated development environment for microcontrollers, and by Linux drivers for our microprocessors. You can find additional support for our wireless products via our forums, our knowledge base, our wireless design check service, our developer help and our ticket system. Our support collateral can also help you find additional components for your design, including microcontrollers, memory, analog, timing solutions and more. Go to our Support page to learn about our technical support options.
