NINA-W15 series stand-alone multiradio modules integrate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth BR/EDR and Bluetooth Low Energy in a compact form factor. The modules support simultaneous operation on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dual-mode and can serve as a gateway between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Using either a UART, SPI or a high speed RMII interface, the modules connect to a host system. They can be both a Wi- Fi station and micro access point, Bluetooth master, slave, peripheral and central, DHCP server and client. The modules are suitable for a wide range of applications, including, telematics, industrial automation, connected buildings, point-of-sales, and the wireless connection of sensors and medical devices. They include a secure boot function to ensure that only authenticated software is run on the module, and support several other embedded security features.
The u-connectXpress software, flashed to the modules prior to delivery, simplifies the host system integration to reduce your product time to market. The software provides end-to-end security with TLS and built-in MQTT protocol for lightweight communication with cloud-based applications and services. It also supports a range of features that are configured from the host using AT commands.
NINA-W15 modules can act as an MQTT-SN gateway allowing devices without a TCP/IP stack to make use of the MQTT protocol. This makes it possible for networks comprising Bluetooth Low Energy sensors to easily communicate with the cloud for example. To simplify device design, developers can choose to use an external antenna (NINA-W151) or either of the available internal antennas (NINA-W152 and NINA-W156). NINA-W15 modules are pin-compatible with other NINA modules and offer maximum flexibility for the development of similar devices with different radio technologies. The modules support operation in an extended temperature range of –40 C to +85 C and are certified for global use.
