9.1 Overview

Connect any microcontroller (MCU) to the Internet of Things (IoT) with the CC3135 device, a dual-band wireless network processor from Texas Instruments™. The CC3135 Wi-Fi® Internet-on-a chip™ device contains an Arm® Cortex®-M3 MCU dedicated to wi-fi and internet protocols, in order to offload networking activities from the host MCU. The subsystem includes a dual band 802.11a/b/g/n radio, baseband, and MAC with a powerful crypto engine for fast, secure Internet connections with 256-bit encryption and built in power management for best in class low power performance. The CC3135 device supports station, AP, and Wi-Fi Direct® modes. The device also supports WPA2™ personal and enterprise security, WPS 2.0, and WPA3™ personal and enterprise security (10). The Wi-Fi network processor includes an embedded IPv6 and IPv4 TCP/IP stack.

10. Supported from Service Pack v4.5.0.11-3.1.0.5-3.1.0.25. Limited to STA mode only.
