Raspberry Pi Zero W (Wireless) With In-Built Wifi and Bluetooth

The Raspberry Pi Zero W arrives with a major and much-awaited upgrade — built-in WiFi (yes, that’s what the “W” stands for!). This enhancement is powered by the BCM43143 WiFi chip, the same one used in the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. In addition to wireless LAN, the Zero W also includes Bluetooth 4.1 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support.

This upgrade eliminates the need for external communication accessories like ethernet adapters or WiFi dongles, making your setup simpler and cleaner. Even better, the Zero W maintains almost the same design, layout, and mounting points as the Pi Zero v1.3, allowing you to continue using most of the existing accessories — except those designed specifically for WiFi add-ons.

The board features a micro SD card slot, mini HDMI port, two micro USB ports (one for power and one for data), 512MB RAM, and a 1GHz single-core processor, all packed into the most compact form factor in the Raspberry Pi family.

The Pi Zero W offers all the capabilities of the original Pi Zero, plus the added advantage of 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, and BLE.
