The ESP-IDF's`esp_wifi` API powers WiFi connectivity across ESP32 chipsets. However, new ESP32 series chips like ESP32-P4 and ESP32-H2 lack native WiFi hardware. With **esp-wifi-remote**, you can use the same `esp_wifi` APIs on non-WiFi ESP chipsets as on WiFi-enabled ones. This compatibility lets developers leverage existing knowledge and codebase with minimal changes.

**Host-side**: The device running your application code (e.g., ESP32-P4, ESP32-H2, or ESP32 with WiFi).
This section compares backend solutions, focusing on how different methods marshall WiFi commands, events and data to the slave device.

This blog post focuses on *esp-wifi-remote* solutions only. While there are other connectivity options available, we provide only a brief overview with references and links for those interested in exploring alternatives like Bluetooth, BLE connectivity, `esp-extconn` component, or other means of using Wi-Fi library on remote targets.

This solution doesn't fall into *esp-wifi-remote* category and needs a special target for the slave side (ESP8693), but provides the best throughput (up to 80Mbps). See [esp-extconn repository](https://github.com/espressif/esp-extconn/)
