Murata Wireless Solutions’ (MWS) SN8200 is a self-contained, certified Wi-Fi network controller module that provides simple serial-to-Wi-Fi connectivity to the Internet.

It is an ideal solution for manufacturers who are looking to add wireless connectivity to home appliances or other devices for the healthcare equipment, industrial control and monitoring markets.

The device features a Broadcom BCM43362 Wi-Fi chipset and STMicroelectronics STM32 ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller in a 30,5 x 19,4 x 2,9 mm module package. It includes an onboard antenna, UART and SPI interfaces, as well as ADC, DAC, I²C and GPIO for sensor applications. Transmit power is +17 dBm (b mode/11 Mbps) and maximum receive sensitivity is -96 dbm.

The module is compliant with ETSI standards EN 300 328 and EN 301 489, and is FCC/IC certified and CE compliant. It is targeted at applications such as home automation, home energy management systems, smart appliances, industrial control and monitoring, and healthcare and fitness devices.

The SN8200 is the first module from MWS’s network controller module product line. The family is comprised of footprint compatible modules with flexible software personalities and hardware configurations to match customer needs. Variants include antenna diversity, microcontroller speed, Flash memory size, peripheral interfaces and advanced software feature options like access point mode, Wi-Fi Direct, Smart Energy Profile 2.0 and IPv6.
