New version of Wi-Fi module (v1.1) for IoT platform called BigClown
Wi-Fi module is used for Wi-Fi connection with your server and sending/receiving data with BigClown IoT platform. Wi-Fi connectivity is missing in the offer of BigClown.
If you use Wi-Fi module and Wi-Fi connectivity is enough for your project, you can use Core module without Radio and save 10 euros.
WiFi module for BigClown IoT platform BigClown offers a lot interesting modules which you can use, but I missed WiFi connectivity - you can order module for IoT network like LoRa and Sigfox.
On the other side, this missing interface makes sense. WiFi connectivity is not low-power concept.
I accepted the higher power consumption and I designed WiFi module with popular ESP8266 IC. You can use three types of module - ESP07, ESP08 and ESP12E.
