Alpha Micro Components has launched the xPico Wi-Fi SMT embedded device server from Lantronix – a certified, compact Wi-Fi surface mount module which enables quick and easy serial-to-Wi-Fi connectivity. Alpha Micro Components has launched the xPico Wi-Fi SMT embedded device server from Lantronix – a certified, compact Wi-Fi surface mount module which enables quick and easy serial-to-Wi-Fi connectivity.

The module offers a simultaneous Soft-AP and Client Mode Unique feature that permits a service technician mode or direct local access without disconnecting from the enterprise wireless network. Users can get direct access to device data via smartphones, tablets and connected PCs.

It features complete Wi-Fi connectivity offload which reduces complexity of application microcontroller and helps bring products to market faster as well as a complete network protocol offload with built-in web werver, TCP/IP network stack, file system and network connection management can be utilised without writing complex application logic. The module can operate at temperatures between -40 degrees C and +85 degrees C.

xPico Wi-Fi SMT adds a u.fl antenna option that permits flexibility in placement of module and antenna within the product for optimal performance and it offers an on-board antenna option with completely integrated solution that does not require additional Wi-Fi specific components.

It measures 18.3mm x 31.1mm x 3mm, and it can be fitted into small spaces with low height profiles
