Product Features

  • NXP chip integration
    The module uses NXP Semiconductors' "IW611" chip, which includes dedicated processors and memories for both the wireless LAN and Bluetooth subsystems, enabling independent real-time protocol processing. It supports Wi-Fi 6 and can communicate in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Compared with existing models, it achieves higher throughput, better network efficiency, lower latency and longer communication range.
  • Low power consumption
    The host interface uses SDIO 3.0 for wireless LAN and UART for Bluetooth, which ensures low power consumption. In addition, it has an efficient power management system that supports deep sleep low-power mode, making it ideal for applications that require long-term operation.
  • No antenna design required and pre-certified
    The device has a built-in high efficiency wideband antenna, so no antenna design is required. It has obtained Bluetooth qualification and certification for Radio Law MIC (Japan), FCC (USA) and ISED (Canada), which reduces time and cost.
