Device Drive EBVchips - Iris the Wi-Fi cloud on a chip

Iris enables automatic connection to the cloud and mobile apps - no network configuration needed. API based on JSON through UART makes passing object parameters simple.ris offers a complete certified Wi-Fi module and enables automatic connection to the cloud and mobile apps without network programming. It supports OTA (Over The Air) upgrades of module & client firmware and is highly suitable for the IoT market as internet enabler for sensors. The small size module has an embedded on-board PCB-antenna with a gain of 2 dBi.
