The board's main processor is a low-power ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit SAMD21, like in the other boards within the Arduino MKR family. The WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity is performed with a module from u-blox, the NINA-W10, a low-power chipset operating in the 2.4 GHz range. On top of that, secure communication is ensured through the Microchip ECC508 crypto chip. Besides that, you can find a battery charger, and an RGB LED on-board.
You can get your board to connect to any kind of existing WiFi network, or use it to create your own Arduino Access Point. The specific set of examples we provide for the MKR WiFi 1010 can be consulted at the WiFiNINA library reference page.
It is also possible to connect your board to different Cloud services, Arduino's own among others. Here are some examples of how to get the MKR WiFi 1010 to connect to:
