HOPERF's HM-WF8720 Integrated 
Wi-Fi & BLE Transmission Module: 
A Simplified Wireless IoT Solution

Conventional wireless connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses various standard communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, BLE, and Zigbee, enabling data transmission between multiple local and remote devices. When utilizing the Wi-Fi protocol for remote network data transmission alongside the BLE protocol for local data transmission, equipping devices with both Wi-Fi and BLE modules can lead to several challenges: increased product design costs, larger form factors, higher power consumption, and greater MCU resource utilization. This not only complicates development efforts but also doubles the uncontrollable factors and risks involved.

To address these challenges, HOPERF has integrated Wi-Fi and BLE communication protocols into a single chip. By using a simple UART interface, the HM-WF8720 module allows for wireless data transmission based on both Wi-Fi and BLE protocols simultaneously. This integration significantly reduces product design costs, minimizes size and power consumption, and lowers the MCU resource requirements, offering an outstanding solution for rapid network access and wireless data transmission.

The HOPERF HM-WF8720 module is built on a single SoC chip that combines Wi-Fi and BLE functionalities, enabling quick and cost-effective wireless data transmission. The Wi-Fi feature facilitates wireless data transmission from local devices to remote servers, while the BLE module enables data transfer or network configuration between local devices and smartphones. The smartphone can then use 4G communication to transmit data wirelessly to remote servers.

Key Advantages of the HM-WF8720 Module:

· Integration of Wi-Fi and BLE wireless communication protocols for seamless connectivity with routers and mobile devices.

· Local devices connect to smartphone apps via BLE, allowing for Wi-Fi configuration and significantly improving the success rate of Wi-Fi network setup.

HM-WF8720 Application Areas:

· Smart home appliances, including smart plugs, smart switches, and smart lighting.

· Industrial data collection, smart meters, sensor data transmission, and smart thermostats.
