Spectre is the first Wi-Fi module in this price range and size of only 12 x 11 x 1.8mm to be powered by ZentriOS, an industry leading secure IoT operating system that already powers a wide range of products from Zentri, Avnet, NXP, Broadcom/Cypress, ST, and more. Spectre is pre-certified, speeding up product design and ensuring successful deployments. Using ZentriOS, Spectre customers design connected products in weeks with the unique ability to use the same ZentriOS foundation across all product lines, regardless of hardware, and securely manage those products with cloud services.

“Spectre furthers Zentri’s bold corporate strategy to drive hardware costs towards zero,” stated Nick Dutton, Zentri’s VP for Embedded Products. “With Spectre, product design is no longer dictated by hardware costs or size constraints, removing development hurdles and allowing managed IoT products to get to market faster than ever before.”
