Plug & Play
A plug-and-play wireless module is exactly what it sounds like, a wireless device that requires little to no wireless expertise or user setup. Plug-and-play modules simplify wireless design by eliminating the need for complex code and RF design or antenna optimization, shortening the certification process. Plug-and-play modules come pre-programmed and are controlled using simple ASCII text commands. This functionality sets plug-and-play apart from standard modules that require additional coding to work. The modules come with optimized antennas that have been pre-certified in many countries, eliminating the need for RF expertise and reducing certification requirements.
