As products keep on pushing towards wireless connectivity, the demand for simple connectivity on IoT products will keep growing, where advance cloud services must be at a premium level! The Type 1 GC Wi-Fi Module from Murata provides the reliability and resources to achieve the necessary goals for your IoT product. The module is featured on the Quicksilver IoT Dev Kit, where you’ll see how the Type 1 GC Wi-Fi Module powers the Dev Kit.
Features of the Type 1 GC Wi-Fi Module
The Type 1 GC Wi-Fi Module will provide you with industry-leading connectivity to 802.11a/b/g/n dual-band Wi-Fi/Ethernet, meaning the long distance, but slower speed of 2.4 GHz and the shorter distance, but faster speed of 5 GHz. The Module has a single RF output pin and supports WPA, WPA2, and WPS security. This gives you the latest generation of features to accommodate a wide range of IoT applications.
It includes the 32-bit ARM Cortex-R4 application processor, built for excellent energy efficiency, high-performance, reliability, and dependability for real-time applications. It has over 1.2 MB RAM for application uses and 32 kB of instruction & data caches. It’s powerful CPU speed can reach up to 320 MHz, has 28 I/Os, and ensures end-to-end security.
Cloud Services Provided by the Type 1 GC Wi-Fi Module
Murata has teamed up with Electric Imp that delivers you a reliable wireless connectivity and a powerful cloud service that is tied closely to Murata’s leading-edge hardware.

1 GC Wi-Fi Module Featured on The Quicksilver IoT Dev Kit
The ease of compatibility of the 1 GC Wi-Fi Module can be seen on the Arrow Quicksilver IoT Development Kit. This development kit is built to cater a variety of IoT applications that range from home appliances to smart buildings to energy meters, all while minimizing the difficulty relating to interoperability, compliance, certification, and testing. Murata’s Wi-Fi Module makes this a perfect pairing as it’s the main component that gives this board its power to use in the IoT product that you will be creating!
The Quicksilver tackles problems that is common when it comes to IoT applications. The pairing with the development board and Murata’s Wi-Fi Module addresses the major issue of energy efficiency, difficult RF and antenna design with RF testing and complex/expensive regulatory certifications, and the managing of both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and other specifying RF components to avoid losses, all in a designed ecosystem for Wi-Fi connectivity.
This development board comes with embedded extra features on it. It comes with a temperature and humidity sensor for those applications that involve Smart Buildings to be energy efficient or Smart Agriculture to be efficient in growing plants. The 3-axis accelerometer can provide motion detections for IoT applications that involve orientation, shake, fall, position, shock, or vibration on smartphones, tablets, home appliances, or even gaming!
The Quicksilver is supported within the WICED® Studio SDK, the industry’s only development environment for multiple wireless technologies, and Arrow Connect™, a universal ingestion layer allowing you to connect any device over any protocol to any cloud enabling you to easily plumb your data from edge to cloud.
These platforms give you access that will help you relief any hassles that will be coming through as you design your IoT product with security, scale, flexibility, device management, multi-tenancy, hierarchy, open APIs, and extensibility. It is also compatible with the popular microcontroller board, the Arduino Uno, making it even easier to get started if you are familiar with using the Arduino Uno.
The Quicksilver board is a great example on how Murata’s 1 GC Wi-Fi Module can help you quickly get your new exciting IoT product to market in a cost effective and simple way, getting support from creation all the way to manufacturing.
