# 4. Hardware overview and network capabilities NOVA is a precision dispensing platform for additive electronics. NOVA’s software independently runs on its own standalone compute module, the NVIDIA Jetson Nano. The Nano module integrates a Realtek RTL81119ICG Gigabit Ethernet controller. To connect the Nano module to the Internet, a Wi-Fi adapter or an Ethernet cable must be plugged into NOVA. The Wi-Fi adapter that is shipped with NOVA is a TP-link AC600 Nano Wireless USB Adapter. A different Wi-Fi adapter can be used instead of the one provided by Voltera if desired, but Voltera cannot guarantee it will be compatible with NOVA’s system. NOVA receives commands from users through a browser-based web app. A network connection, whether local or on the Internet, is required between NOVA and a computer for operation. Various connection methods are detailed in sections 3.3-3.6. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
