The WLS1273L provides 2.4 and 5.8 GHz WLAN plus

Bluetooth functionality in an ultra-small module. The

WLS1273L is based on TI’s WL1273L SOC. The module

features optimized RF performance including a high-

efficiency RF front end circuit. An integrated DC-DC con-

verter allows the module to operate from a single input

voltage. The module is designed to fit into small spaces,

and requires a minimum of external components to op-

erate. Software drivers are available for Linux, Android

and WinCE operating systems.
