For this, SpeakSee needed an embedded Wi-Fi solution that provides high-speed, reliable connectivity in a small form factor.  As this device consists of a set of portable microphones, the solution needed to be ultra-low power and cost effective enough to embed in each of the microphones.  ![ulpgn](https://www.silextechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Resources_Images/ulpgn.png?width=321&name=ulpgn.png)Speaksee was able to accomplish this by using Silex Technology's [SX-ULPGN](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/embedded-wireless/sx-ulpgn) embedded wireless module.  This module is based on QCA4010 radio from Qualcomm, fulfills all the exceptions like power, size, and cost requirements that they have set to develop their device. [SX-ULPGN](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/embedded-wireless/sx-ulpgn) has an internal CPU, and so it can act on both host and hostless mode. Read the full case study to learn more.    [![Read Case Study](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/205257/b9b182d3-a1e3-4352-ab26-ae1f6f28310a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/205257/b9b182d3-a1e3-4352-ab26-ae1f6f28310a) For more information on ultra low-power IoT module,  contact our experts at [sales@silexamerica.com](mailto:sales@silexamerica.com).  Share ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Posts by Topic -
