u-blox wins IoT Evolution Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award


u-blox NINA-W15 multiradio and gateway module series can simultaneously support both WiFi 802.11 b/g/n connections and dual mode Bluetooth connectivity. This includes support for both Bluetooth low energy and Bluetooth BR/EDR. Concurrent support for these radio interfaces delivers much design versatility.

The modules will be particularly useful in products such as gateways and hubs that need to connect local Bluetooth and/or WiFi peripherals to a wider area network. NINA-W15 is powered by u-blox software suite u-connectXpress, this covers a vast range of use cases and is controlled by a powerful command set. u-connectXpress allows developers to focus on device and application design being relieved from detailed programming and testing in the wireless domain.

Erik Carlberg, Senior Product Manager, Product Strategy Short Range Radio at u blox, said: “We are honoured that our NINA-W15 multiradio and gateway module series was chosen as 2019 IoT Evolution Industrial IoT Product of the Year.

“The NINA W15 modules is unique in the fact that it offers the ideal combination of radio interfaces, security features, proven software based on u-connectXpress, and a small footprint necessary to enable cost effective industrial and medical applications. It also supports digitalisation industries where a huge number of sensors and actuators must be connected to a back end system or cloud service, to enable analysis and visualisation or even control of the applications,” he adds.

Ken Briodagh, Editorial Director for IoT Evolution, added: “The solutions selected for the Industrial IoT Product of Year Awards represent the diverse range of innovation driving the multi-billion dollar IoT market today. It is my honour to congratulate u-blox for their innovative work and superior contribution to the rapidly evolving IoT industry.”

“It is my pleasure to recognise NINA-W15, an innovative solution that earned u-blox the 2019 Industrial IoT Product of the Year Award,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “I look forward to seeing more innovation from u-blox in the future.”
