Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules support Thread and Matter

These modules are based on NXP Semiconductors’ IW611 and IW612 wireless system-on-chip (SoC).

They deliver the performance and network optimisation capabilities of Wi-Fi 6 and Matter, a new connectivity standard championed by Apple, Amazon, Google and hundreds of other companies for IoT communication across smart devices in healthcare, medical devices, building automation retail/POS terminals, security, video cameras, and smart home applications.

The modules offer flexibility to OEMs and users to leverage other lower bandwidth and longer-range protocols like Bluetooth Long Range to address applications that have other demands and needs. The CMP9612 also supports Thread (IP-based MESH Networking) and Matter.

Coexistence support for dual/tri-radio protocols is available to enable multiple networks and applications. Wi-Fi operational modes include STA, AP, Wi-Fi Direct, or combinations thereof.

With +20-dBm output power, the CMP961x modules deliver best-in-class range and coverage, which enhances throughput, lower latency, reduced power consumption, faster OTA firmware updates, and better network reliability.

The CMP961x modules are versatile and ready for integration with almost any host platform, including microcontroller or microprocessor architectures supporting Android, Linux, and FreeRTOS operating systems.

The devices are offered in a 16.64 mm × 27.80 mm × 3.47 mm module with a PCB-trace antenna or MHF4 connector and in a compact 12 mm × 12 mm LGA package with an RF pin.
