The WLAN features are as follows:
- 802.11 b/g/n integrated radio, modem, and MAC supporting WLAN communication as a BSS station with CCK and OFDM rates in the 2.4-GHz ISM band.
- Autocalibrated radio with a single-ended 50-Ω interface enables easy connection to the antenna without requiring expertise in radio circuit design.
- Advanced connection manager with multiple user-configurable profiles stored in an NVMEM allows automatic, fast connection to an access point without user or host intervention.
- Supports all common Wi-Fi security modes for personal and enterprise networks, with on-chip security accelerators.
- SmartConfig technology: A 1-step, 1-time process to connect a CC3100MOD-enabled device to the home wireless network, removing dependency on the I/O capabilities of the host MCU; thus, it is usable by deeply embedded applications.
- 802.11 transceiver mode transmits and receives proprietary data through a socket without adding MAC or PHY headers, and provides the option to select the working channel, rate, and transmitted power. The receiver mode works together with the filtering options.
