Add Cloud Connectivity to Your Design With Ease
It seems like Wi-Fi connections are everywhere, so it is no surprise that there is growing demand to add it to all kinds of products. If you have an existing design and are simply looking to add Wi-Fi connectivity, network controllers are a good choice. They are a single-chip solution for Wi-Fi connectivity and network management that connects to a microcontroller (MCU) with minimal resource requirements.
Because they are easy to work with, network controller modules and SoCs can be found in a wide variety of Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as:
- Smart homes and consumer electronics
- Commercial and Industrial automation
- Health care and fitness devices
We have a broad portfolio of Wi-Fi network controllers suited to a wide range of end applications with different levels of design complexity. They are designed for robust connectivity, seamless integration, enhanced security and most importantly, ease of use.

New to IoT Product Development?
Adding connectivity to an embedded product is complex, complicated and overwhelming at times. If you’re new to IoT product design, we suggest starting with the basics and learning the foundations of Internet communication.
In our Microchip University Course, “Design Considerations for Your First IoT Project,” we explore Wi-Fi, Ethernet, TCP/IP networking and analysis, messaging, provisioning, cloud models and security basics. This class is meant for someone who is comfortable setting up their home network but hasn’t explored what’s needed to build an IoT application.
