3 Description

The certified WiLink™ 8 module from TI offers high throughput and extended range along with Wi-Fi
®
Bluetooth coexistence (WL1837MOD only) in a power-optimized design. The WL18x7MOD is a Wi-Fi, dual-
band, 2.4- and 5-GHz module solution with two antennas supporting industrial temperature grade. The device
is FCC, IC, ETSI/CE, and TELEC certified for AP (with DFS support) and client. TI offers drivers for high-level
operating systems, such as Linux
QNX, Nucleus, ThreadX, and FreeRTOS, are supported through third parties.

Bluetooth Low Energy (LE)
– Dedicated audio processor support of SBC
encoding + A2DP
– Dual-mode Bluetooth and Bluetooth low energy
– TI's Bluetooth and Bluetooth low energy
certified stack
• Key benefits
– Reduces design overhead
– Differentiated use cases by configuring
WiLink ™ 8 simultaneously in two roles (STA
and AP) to connect directly with other Wi-
Fi devices on different RF channel (Wi-Fi
networks)
– Best-in-class Wi-Fi with high-performance
audio and video streaming reference
applications with up to 1.4× the range versus
one antenna
– Different provisioning methods for in-home
devices connectivity to Wi-Fi in one step
– Lowest Wi-Fi power consumption in connected
idle (< 800 µA)
– Configurable wake on WLAN filters to only
wake up the system
– Wi-Fi and Bluetooth single antenna coexistence
