RF Monolithics, Inc. today introduced the WLS-series of Wi-Fi & Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combination modules to the company’s integrated short-range radio products. With the addition of three new standards-based modules - the WLS1270, WLS1271, and the WLS1273 - the RFM integrated short-range radio product line now includes high-performance standards-based technologies in addition to the company’s proprietary RFIC- and SAW-based product portfolio.

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 space constrained designs and are slightly smaller than a 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.
