Correct!

It is a WiFi Module that easily provides a UART. Serial over WiFi you could
call it :) The point is that if that UART could be set to lets say 50 bauds,
5 bits, I could have as many of these cheap units as I wish connected to
loops and TTYs, controlled from a single HeavyMetal window, chatting between
each other.
Much better than today, when the cheapest option is a Raspberry Pi per each
TTY.

See?
