The WLAN features are as follows:
- 802.11a/b/g/n integrated radio, modem, and MAC supporting WLAN communication as a BSS station, AP, Wi-Fi Direct client, and group owner with CCK and OFDM rates in the 2.4 GHz band (channels 1 through 13), and the 5GHz 20-MHz BW U-NII bands (U-NII-1, U-NII-2A, U-NII-2C, and U-NII-3).
Note: 802.11n is supported only in Wi-Fi station and Wi-Fi direct.
- The automatically calibrated radio with a single-ended 50Ω interface enables easy connection to the antenna without requiring expertise in radio circuit design.
- Advanced connection manager with multiple user-configurable profiles stored in serial flash 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, including: WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK, WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x), WPA3 Personal, and WPA3 Enterprise.
Note: When using WPA Enterprise security modes, the TLS socket used to communicate with the Radius server is limited to TLSv1.0.
- Smart provisioning options deeply integrated within the device providing a comprehensive end-to-end solution. With elaborate events notification to the host, enabling the application to control the provisioning decision flow. The wide variety of Wi-Fi provisioning methods include:
- Access Point with HTTP server
- WPS - Wi-Fi Protected Setup, supporting both push button and pin code options.
- SmartConfig™ Technology: TI proprietary, easy-to-use, one-step, one-time process used to connect a CC3235x-enabled device to the home wireless network.
- 802.11 transceiver mode allows transmitting and receiving of proprietary data through a socket The 802.11 transceiver mode provides the option to select the working channel, rate, and transmitted power. The receiver mode works with the filtering options.
- Antenna selection for best connection
- BLE/2.4GHz radio coexistence mechanism to avoid interference
