WGM110 Wizard Gecko Wi-Fi® Module
Data Short
The Wizard Gecko WGM110 is an all-inclusive Wi-Fi® Module targeted for applications
where good RF performance, low-power consumption, and easy application develop-
ment, together with fast time to market, are key requirements. WGM110 has excellent
RF performance and can provide long range with robust wireless connectivity.
The WGM110 Module integrates all of the necessary elements required for an IoT Wi-Fi
application, including an 802.11b/g/n radio, integrated chip antenna (WGM110A) or an
u.FL connector for an external antenna (WGM110E), certifications, a microcontroller,
Wi-Fi and IP stacks, an HTTP server, and multiple protocols, such as TCP and UDP.
WGM110 can act as a Wi-Fi client or be used as a Wi-Fi access point, making the provi-
sioning of the device as easy as surfing on the web. WGM110 can host BGScript™ end
user applications, which means applications can be designed without relying on an ex-
ternal microcontroller. Alternatively, the Wi-Fi Module can run in Network Co-Processor
(NCP) mode, leaving the complexity of TCP/IP networking to the Module so that the cus-
tomer’s own host controller can be fully dedicated to processing the customer applica-
tion tasks. The WGM110 Module also has highly flexible hardware interfaces which al-
lows connection to different peripherals and sensors.
In addition to the Wi-Fi Module itself, Silicon Labs offers support to guide and help de-
velopers in using WGM110 to build IoT applications, enabling a quick time to market.

2. Ordering Information
This section contains cut reel (100 pcs) and full reel (500 pcs) ordering information for WGM110 Module. WGM110 Module offer a
WGM110A version with integrated antenna and WGM110E version with an U.FL external antenna connector.
WGM110A1MV2 (orderable part number / cut reel) and WGM110A1MV2R (orderable part number / full reel) are the product codes for
the full production (certified) version of the WGM110 Wizard Gecko Wi-Fi™ Module. The certification codes are printed on the metallic
RF shield of the WGM110 Module.
WGM110A1MV1 (cut reel) and WGM110A1MV1 (full reel) are the product codes for the pre-production (non-certified) version of the
Module. The only difference of the the V1 and V2 Module versions is the certification markings on the shield of the V2 version.
Note: The only visual difference between pre-production and production Module versions are the certification codes printed on the RF
shield.
Silicon Labs reserves the right to deliver WGM110A1MV2 or WGM110A1MV2R (production version) for customers ordering
WGM110A1MV1 (pre-production version) and WGM110E1MV2 or WGM110E1MV2R (production version) for customers ordering
