Microchip Technology announced the first-ever Wi-Fi microcontroller module with Microchip's Trust&GO-enabled unique, verifiable identity.

For developers designing secure IIoT systems, Microchip's highly integrated WFI32E01PC is a Trust&GO secured platform-enabled Wi-Fi MCU module that is pre-provisioned for cloud platforms.

Unlike existing devices, Microchip's new technology includes a premium PIC32 MCU core, rich peripherals and a proven hardware security platform - enabling it not only to provide Wi-Fi but also to serve as a powerful MCU core for the entire IIoT system.

"With increasing attacks, traditional software data encryption is no longer sufficient to protect transmitted data. Devices need a hardcoded, verifiable, trustable identity to securely connect to the cloud," said Steve Caldwell, vice president of Microchip's Wireless Service Group business unit.

As a total system solution provider, Microchip offers a broad portfolio that simplifies IoT and IIoT systems when pairing the WFI32E01 module with other Microchip market-leading components, such as the KSZ8081 family of Ethernet PHYs, MCP2542WFD family of CAN transceivers, sensors and radio technologies including Bluetooth Low Energy, Long Range and IEEE 802.15.4.
