NATICK, MA | March 14, 2018 - VDC Research, the leading market intelligence and advisory firm for the connected world, announces that Silicon Labs was selected as the winner of the annual Embeddy Award for Hardware at Embedded World 2018 for their new low-power Wi-Fi portfolio including the WF200 transceivers and WFM200 modules supporting 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n for IoT applications.

Award

This year marked Embedded World’s 16th annual conference and it continues to grow as the leading exhibition for global IoT and embedded technology providers. The Embeddy award winner was carefully chosen from all the hardware innovations exhibited during the event. Award nominees were evaluated on specific criteria: corporate, technological and industry significance, with the selection of an overall “Best-of-Show” winner for the most cutting-edge hardware and software products or services.

“Engineering teams can take advantage of the WFM200 which features a compact system-in-package module (6.5 mm x 6.5 mm LGA52) with an integrated antenna to quickly develop battery-operated Wi-Fi products,” said Dan Mandell, Senior Analyst of IoT & Embedded Technology at VDC Research. “Enabling the development of low-power Wi-Fi products continues to be a major challenge for the IoT community. The WF200 and WFM200 offerings are important additions to the Silicon Labs IoT Connectivity Portfolio, which already includes solutions supporting Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth Mesh, Zigbee, Thread, and proprietary protocols.”
