Wi-Fi and internet connectivity can meet the requirements of embedded devices through secure, low-power, and easy provisioning solutions. Wi-Fi security standards like WPA/WPA2 and SSL provide security, while power save polling and chip power management lower power usage. Standards-based networking protocols enable interoperability. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and browser-based or native app provisioning via ad-hoc connections simplify setup without IT support. These methods address the key needs of embedded devices connecting to the internet of things.
