But all embedded wireless modules are not created equal, especially if you are an OEM manufacturer. Because of the popularity of 802.11 wireless networks, a number of manufacturers are now producing embedded wireless modules that enable Wi-Fi connectivity for devices. So given the large number of choices, how should an OEM manufacturer go about selecting an embedded wireless module? This white paper discusses some of the issues that you need to consider when selecting an embedded wireless module for use in your product. It also includes a real-life case study of an OEM embedded wireless module application. What you will learn? - How an OEM manufacturer should select an embedded wireless module - Factors to consider in the decision process - Real life Case-Study and example - [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.silextechnology.com%2Fwhite-paper%2Fperformance-and-quality-issues-for-802.11-embedded-wireless-modules) - [Twitter ](https://twitter.com/home?status=LP%3A+Performance+and+Quality+Issues+for+802.11+Embedded+Wireless+Modules%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.silextechnology.com%2Fwhite-paper%2Fperformance-and-quality-issues-for-802.11-embedded-wireless-modules) - [LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.silextechnology.com%2Fwhite-paper%2Fperformance-and-quality-issues-for-802.11-embedded-wireless-modules&title=LP%3A%20Performance%20and%20Quality%20Issues%20for%20802.11%20Embedded%20Wireless%20Modules&summary=There+are+a+number+of+802.11+wireless+modules+on+the+market+today.+But+all+embedded+wireless+modules+are+not+created+equal%2C+especially+if+you+are+an+OEM+manufacturer.&source=) - [Email ](mailto:?subject=LP%3A%20Performance%20and%20Quality%20Issues%20for%20802.11%20Embedded%20Wireless%20Modules&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.silextechnology.com%2Fwhite-paper%2Fperformance-and-quality-issues-for-802.11-embedded-wireless-modules) [![Silex Technology](https://www.silextechnology.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/silex/images/logo.svg "Silex Technology")](https://www.silextechnology.com/?hsLang=en-us) ### Subscribe to our blog - [**](https://x.com/silextechnology) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/silex-technology-america/) - [**](https://www.youtube.com/user/SilexTechnology) ##### Solutions - [Embedded Wireless Modules](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions?services=embedded-wireless-modules) - [Platform & SOMs](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions?services=platform--soms) - [Network System Solutions](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions?services=network-systems-solutions) - [Services](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/software-services) ##### Applications - [Medical Device Connectivity](https://www.silextechnology.com/application-expertise/medical-devices-learn-more) - [Transportation & Logistics](https://www.silextechnology.com/de/application-expertise/transportation-and-logistics) - [Factory Automation](https://www.silextechnology.com/application-expertise/factory-automation) ##### Resources - [Resource Center](https://www.silextechnology.com/resources) - [Unwired Blog](https://www.silextechnology.com/unwired) - [Support Center](https://www.silextechnology.com/support) ##### Company - [About Silex](https://www.silextechnology.com/company) - [Why Silex](https://www.silextechnology.com/why-silex) - [Partnerships](https://www.silextechnology.com/why-silex/partner) - [News](https://www.silextechnology.com/unwired/topic/news) - [Careers](https://www.silextechnology.com/company/careers) ##### Contact - [U.S. Sales](mailto:sales@silexamerica.com) - [Europe Sales](mailto:sales@silexeurope.com) - [Customer Support](https://www.silextechnology.com/support/contact-silex-support) © 2026 Silex Technology America, Inc.
