A World of Opportunities Ma d e
Possible in a Form-Factor
the Size of a Dime
Audio / Video / Data
WLS Series
Now Featuring Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE)
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Complies with IEEE 802.11a**/b/g/n and Bluetooth
BLE v4.0 + EDR Power Class 1.5* to quickly add
standards-based connectivity while making Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth certification simple
Low Cost
Small Form Factor
The WLS Series is ideal for OEMs wanting to quickly add Wi-Fi and / or Bluetooth
standards-based connectivity within a broad range of products in audio, video, or data
applications for the world-wide market.
Like all RFM’s integrated short-range range products, the WLS Series of Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi +
Bluetooth combination modules are optimized for RF performance and feature a high-level
of integration all in a small form factor. The benefits to designers are low-cost, efficient
design cycles, and fast time-to-market.
Best-in-Class Wi-Fi and
Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Combination
Modules
802.11a** compliant making WLS1273L modules
ideal for healthcare applications
BLE opens up broader range of low-power
Linux, Android and WinCE Drivers Available
for Selected TI and Freescale Processors
applications that require longer battery life
Features high level of integration to fit into small
spaces - including embedded ARM microprocessor
Supports SDIO host interfaces for WLAN
The WLS-Series of products include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology in a single SoC and a
high-efficiency RF front-end circuit plus a DC-DC converter. The modules are designed to
fit into small spaces and are slightly smaller than a US dime. Minimal external circuitry is
required to complete a radio design; add an antenna, power source, processor, and associated interface hardware and the radio hardware design is complete.
Linux and Android drivers for OMAP35xx
processors, or driver source code is available that
can be modified for other ARM Cortex A-series
process to ease application development processes
Reference designs for SDIO and host interface available
with eval kits to speed up development cycles
Standards-Based Connectivity
Immediate access to information and ease of connectivity are the key drivers for Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth becoming the communications protocol standards world-wide.
As a result, the RFM WLS-Series short-range radio modules are ideal for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) wanting to quickly add Wi-Fi and / or Bluetooth connectivity
within a broad range of products for the world-wide marketplace.
