This module will provide innovative technical support for segmented markets such as industrial automation, medical equipment, electric vehicle charging, intelligent buildings and smart homes (including smart home appliances), aftermarket vehicle networking, and industrial electric tools.
The IRIS-W1 has a built-in dual band Wi Fi 6, which can easily meet the demand for the new generation of Wi Fi technology in the aforementioned market segments. The industrial market can benefit significantly from this module, such as reducing data congestion and improving power efficiency. This module also supports Matter over Thread, Wi Fi, and Ethernet, providing key technical support for the two popular market areas of smart buildings and smart homes.
The u-blox IRIS-W1 module was developed based on the NXP RW612 chipset, achieving a new technological breakthrough. Wi Fi 6 can reduce power consumption, improve network efficiency, and support more clients, helping IoT devices achieve significant improvements.
Users can also use this module to choose their own Wi Fi channels in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, thereby improving network availability and throughput, reducing data congestion issues in dense environments, and reducing network deployment costs. In addition, this module is also compatible with battery powered devices.
Powerful Arm embedded in the module ® Cortex ®- M33 MCU eliminates the need for external processing units, thereby reducing design costs and saving space. With the RAM and flash memory equipped with this module, users can fully utilize the processing power of advanced applications. Not only that, this module is also equipped with rich peripheral device interfaces, giving designers more choices in connection methods.
The u-blox IRIS-W1 module uses NXP EdgeLock and Arm ® TrustZone ®, Capable of achieving reliable verification, confidentiality, and data integrity, ensuring the security and error free implementation of terminal products. IRIS-W1 can protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized product access, making it particularly suitable for applications with high security requirements.
In addition to Wi Fi and Bluetooth, the u-blox IRIS-W1 module also supports Thread (and Matter). IRIS-W1 combines a variety of radio frequencies with a powerful MCU, and uses the flexibility of tri band design to make it suitable for a variety of application scenarios, which can effectively reduce the radio interference problems encountered by users, simplify the bill of materials (BOM), and thus simplify the integrated design.
U-blox is a pioneer in the field of wireless interconnection technology, always committed to meeting the various needs of IoT engineers. We believe that this new Wi Fi 6 module will definitely help engineers turn possibilities into reality and further explore more emerging segmented markets.
