Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) modules are devices used in various products to add to achieve wireless connection to the internet.
What are WLAN modules used for?
WLAN modules may be used in a variety of industrial, scientific, consumer and commercial applications. With WLAN modules, utilities and service providers, as well as their customers can communicate directly with water heaters, air conditioning systems, thermostats and other electrical products in the home. Typical examples of applications include:
Smart meters
Home entertainment control
Sensor networks
Home monitoring and security
Real-time location systems
Point of Sale (PoS) terminals
Location and Asset tracking
Toys
Home entertainment control
Wireless controllers
Fitness
Remote storage devices
Types of WLAN modules
WLAN modules are normally surface mounted devices that can be connected to the host Printed Circuit Board (PCB) using solder.
There are many kinds of WLAN modules and they are usually categorised by parameters including Radio Frequency (RF) band, certification, data range, range and packaging type, etc.
