    "Bluegiga is very excited to expand our product portfolio to include our two new Wi-Fi
modules. Bluegiga has leveraged its extensive experience in developing robust, easy to
integrate Bluetooth modules to create what we think will be a compelling alternative to
existing Wi-Fi solutions on the market today." says Tom Nordman, Bluegiga's VP of Sales
and Marketing.

    Bluegiga WF121 module is a stand-alone Wi-Fi module, providing a fully integrated
2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n radio and IP stack in a 15.4mm x 26.2mm footprint. It is designed for
embedded applications requiring simple, low-cost/low-power wireless TCP/IP connectivity
with flexible interfaces for connecting a wide variety of peripherals. The Bluegiga WF121
module also comes with Bluegiga Wi-Fi(R) software, a powerful, yet easy-to-use command
interface to manage connectivity functions such as Access Point discovery, association and
connection establishment. The WF121 also supports Bluegiga's BGScript[TM] programming
language enabling developers to embed applications directly onboard the WF121 in matter of
hours.

    Bluegiga WF111 module is a fully integrated 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n module, providing a
low cost, small size Wi-Fi solution for devices that run a Linux operating system on ARM
or x86 processors with an SDIO interface. WF111 offers all of the benefits of an optimized
wireless module - small size, great performance, and excellent range in cost effective
surface mount package.

    "In designing our WF111 and WF121 we have strived to create very small, long range
Wi-Fi modulesthat provide real benefits for our customers including superior radio
performance, reduced design risk, and shortened time-to-market. Innovative software
features have always been a hallmark of Bluegiga modules and we believe our BGScript and
WiFi software will enable OEMs to easily create winning WiFi designs," adds Mikko
Savolainen, Bluegiga's VP of Product Management.
