Some Electric Imp module\u2019s come in an SD card form factor and adds Wi-Fi connectivity to what\u2019s connected to the Electric Imp module. Access to the Electric Module happens via the Electric Imp cloud. While connectivity is simplified with the Electric Imp system, you will need a data service like <a title=\"Open Source Internet of Things\" href=\"https:\/\/thingspeak.com\" target=\"_blank\">ThingSpeak<\/a> to\u00a0complete\u00a0the Internet of Things experience.
