Engineers designing products with embedded wireless communications have two choices. First, they can select one of the many highly integrated RFICs that are available and attempt to incorporate the wireless circuitry directly into their design. The other choice is to select a low-cost, high performance embedded wireless module.

Although the idea of designing a discrete radio using a RFIC is tempting, it is less expensive and much faster to use an embedded wireless module. In most cases, the customer will get to market faster, have better and more repeatable performance, and reduce their manufacturing costs.

Faster time to market is a critical design decision in today's fast moving market. By using an off-the-shelf embedded wireless module like our Wi.232™ series, an engineer can cut 8-12 months off of the design cycle by eliminating the laborious and difficult work of RF design.

Today's market is also demanding top performance. In many cases, the radios are replacing wires that have been in use for a long time because they are reliable. It is very difficult to design a robust protocol that will give a wireless product reliability that is close to wires. By using an off-the-shelf embedded wireless module, the customer gets the benefit of using field proven RF hardware and protocol software to ensure the best performance possible.

But these benefits would be worth nothing if the production cost were too high. Our embedded wireless modules are designed to save our customers 8-15% in high volume and as much as 50% in medium volume production.

The end result is simple. By choosing an embedded wireless module from Radiotronix™, a customer will get to market faster with a more reliable wireless product at a lower production cost.
