Wi-Fi MCUs Bring Greater Security to Cloud-Connected Apps (Download)
Wi-Fi has pushed the boundaries of communication speed, range, and integration as capabilities like lower power and new protocol features boost the number of wireless applications. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, nearly 18 billion Wi-Fi devices will be in use this year, and more than 4.4 billion devices will ship in 2022. Wi-Fi is commonly used in consumer, industrial, and enterprise applications to enable wireless connections between devices and the cloud.
Wi-Fi can be found in video-surveillance, HVAC, and access-control products for smart buildings; patient monitors and medical equipment used in healthcare; smart meters and solar/renewable-energy systems employed in grid infrastructure; and many more products that need connection to the internet.
