Würth Elektronik Wi-Fi® Radio Modules
Würth Elektronik Calypso and Cordelia-I Wi-Fi® modules deliver secure wireless connectivity for industrial IoT applications, but each is optimized for a different challenge. Calypso simplifies wireless integration with a UART-to-cloud architecture, integrated networking protocols, and ready-to-use cloud connectivity, reducing development effort. Würth Elektronik Cordelia-I builds on that foundation with zero-touch provisioning, advanced cybersecurity, and compliance-focused design features that help streamline deployment and support evolving regulatory requirements.
