The ESP8266 module or simply the ESP-01 module offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or to offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.

This is a high end module better than the blue colored module available in the market as this has a higher size firmware space for adapting it to the Different open source platforms available for this module.
