IoT, industrial, and smart devices, such as smart doorbells and locks, smart thermostats and lighting, and Point of Sale (POS) terminals demand consistent and reliable wireless connectivity. These advanced technologies not only rely on seamless Wi-Fi, but they often require Bluetooth connectivity and 802.15.4 radios to connect devices to the cloud and to each other.<\/p>\n
The IW610 IoT Optimized Wi-Fi 6 Tri-Radio Module family from NXP Semiconductors is designed to merge the connectivity solutions of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 radio.<\/p>\n
As IoT devices continue to shrink in size with the expectation of advancing power, the W610 radio modules are designed as compact wireless communication solutions that support high-speed data rates, long-range communication, and Thread mesh networking for modern IoT solutions.<\/p>\n
The IW610 IoT Optimized Wi-Fi 6 Tri-Radio Modules in Action<\/p>\n
The Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) capabilities of the tri-radio modules include a 1\u00d71 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 radio (2.4\u202fGHz and 5\u202fGHz) with integrated PA, LNA, and T\/R switch, capable of up to +23\u202fdBm transmit power, as well as:<\/p>\n
\n\t20\u202fMHz channel operation
\n\tWi-Fi 6 Target Wake Time (TWT)
\n\tExtended Range (ER) and Dual Carrier Modulation (DCM)
\n\tLow-power idle, standby, and sleep modes
\n\tWPA2\/WPA3 security and support for Matter over Wi-Fi
\n\tAntenna diversity

<\/p>\n
For Bluetooth, the modules support:<\/p>\n
\n\tBluetooth Low Energy 5.4
\n\t1\u202fMbps and 2\u202fMbps uncoded high-speed modes
\n\tLong-range operation with 125\u202fkbps and 500\u202fkbps coded data rates
<\/p>\n
The integrated 802.15.4 radio supports:<\/p>\n
\n\tMAC layer compliant with IEEE 802.15.4-2015
\n\tMatter over Thread for mesh networking and smart-home interoperability
<\/p>\n
For coexistence & power management, the modules are designed to support:<\/p>\n
\n\tInternal coexistence between Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4
\n\tExternal coexistence interface for additional radios, such as LTE
\n\tDeep-sleep and low-power modes, with wake-up through GPIO, host interface, or timers
\n\tIntegrated high-efficiency buck DC-DC converter
\n\tOne-Time Programmable (OTP) memory for MAC address and calibration data

Getting Started with the IW610 IoT Optimized Wi-Fi 6 Tri-Radio Modules<\/p>\n
For security, the IW610 IoT modules target SESIP Level\u202f3 and comply with IEC\u201162443 and RED article\u202f3(3) standards. The modules are powered by NXP\u2019s EdgeLock security technology and assurance program support, and are equipped with the following security features:<\/p>\n
\n\tHardware root of trust
\n\tAuthenticated and secured boot
\n\tSecure debug
\n\tHardware cryptography accelerators (symmetric, asymmetric, secure hash, and key management)
\n\tTrue random number generator (TRNG)
\n\tPhysically unclonable function (PUF)
\n\tOTP-based secure device configuration and life cycle management
\n\tResistant to supply voltage glitching attacks
