The Wireless Communication Library (WCL) is an SDK that allows developers to integrate various wireless communication technologies into their own software applications. It offers three main frameworks: Bluetooth, Serial (for wired serial communication, but included in the library suite), and Wi-Fi. The Bluetooth Framework also supports the Wii Remote game controller.
The library can be used with a wide range of programming environments, including .NET (Framework, Core, Standard), C++, Delphi, Lazarus, Python, and Unity, primarily on Windows. The Serial Framework 8 can alos be used on macOS.
Its main benefit is simplifying complex wireless operations, enabling faster development of applications that need to interact with various devices and networks without requiring deep expertise in the underlying native operating system protocols
BENEFITS
Why You Need It
The primary benefit of using this library, as opposed to developing the functionality manually using native operating system APIs or building everything from scratch, is the significant reduction in development complexity, time, and cost.
- Simplified Connectivity: It provides a unified, high-level Application Programming Interface (API) that simplifies complex wireless protocols (like the specifics of Bluetooth pairing, data transfer, or Wi-Fi configuration), managing many low-level details for you.
- Reduced Development Time and Cost: By using a pre-built, tested library, you save the time and resources required to develop, test, and maintain wireless functionality yourself. This results in faster time-to-market for your application.
- Focus on Core Application Logic: It allows your development team to focus on the unique features and logic of your application, rather than spending time on the nuances of wireless communication protocols.
- Technical Support: Commercial libraries often come with dedicated technical support and regular updates, which can be invaluable when troubleshooting complex connectivity issues or adapting to new operating system versions and hardware standards.
| Feature | WCL | Native OS APIs | Open Source Libraries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Development Speed | Fast (pre-built components, high-level API) | Slow (requires deep protocol expertise, low-level coding) | Moderate (varies by library maturity/completeness) |
| Maintenance | Managed by vendor | Your responsibility (must adapt to every OS update) | Community-driven (updates can be sporadic) |
| Technical Support | Dedicated commercial support | Documentation only (no dedicated support channel) | Community forums/documentation |
| Ease of Use | Simple (abstracts complexity, well-defined API) | Complex (requires specialized knowledge) | Varies widely |
In short, the Wireless Communication Library is a cost-effective and efficient solution for businesses that need reliable wireless communication capabilities without investing in specialized, in-house expertise for every wireless standard and operating system.
