Applications for SimpleLink Wi-Fi® CC31xx/CC32xx
With the SimpleLink Wi-Fi devices supporting your designs, you can share, monitor and manage data wirelessly to the cloud enabling high-throughput applications (up to 72Mbps).
Building automation
Connecting your building automation device to the cloud is now a must in today's market. Managing security, interoperability, and low power of these devices is crucial to the expansion and adoption of building automation solutions.
With TI’s SimpleLink Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ portfolio, you can easily connect your application to cloud, effectively plan your security framework utilizing device’s embedded security enablers, and run for years using batteries.
Electronic smart lock
Why add Wi-Fi directly to the lock?
Forget what you know about Wi-Fi!
Now you can easily add Wi-Fi to the eLock while maintaining a low power solution and enabling secured and direct access to the cloud. This implementation lets you:
- Reduce overall system cost and design complexity.
- Monitor use, control access and configure settings from anywhere.
- Enable fast and secure over the air (OTA) updates.
Why SimpleLink Wi-Fi
Operate your entire system for up to 3.5 years when waking up on trigger using 4xAA batteries and 1.5 years when Wi-Fi is always connected.
The most comprehensive security feature-set enabling protection against hostile takeover (e.g. malicious OTA) and IP theft, without external secure components.
Proven compatibility and easy integration with many cloud vendors, including AWS IoT, IBM Watson IoT, and support for Apple Homekit.
