Wireless MCU Module Serves Industrial IoT
Designed to bring secure, always-on Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE connectivity to industrial IoT endpoints, Advantech's AIW-411 is an OSM Size-0 (30 × 15 mm) wireless MCU module that integrates an NXP RW612 with an Arm Cortex-M33 at 260 MHz.
It also enables faster development of reliable connected devices across smart infrastructure and industrial automation, combining Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, 2.4/5 GHz, 1T1R) and Bluetooth LE 5.4. Advanced security features include EdgeLock Secure Enclave, Secure Boot, WPA2/WPA3 (personal and enterprise), and hardware-based encryption support.
The AIW-411 offers advanced low-power capabilities, including target wake time and deep sleep support, supporting energy-sensitive designs while helping developers optimize energy consumption without sacrificing connectivity. Advantech also provides the AIW-DK411 reference carrier board, complete schematics/documentation, design guidelines, schematic review consultation, and production-readiness resources.
The AIW-411 operates over a temperature range from –40 to 85°C. Its RTOS-ready + scalable ecosystem supports FreeRTOS and Zephyr, backed by NXP SDK tooling (MCUXpresso). There are also rich Interfaces for embedded and HMI-enabled IoT nodes. Peripheral connectivity for sensors, gateways, and HMI endpoints includes USB 2.0 OTG, Ethernet RMII, SDIO 3.0, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, JTAG, ADC, and up to 16 GPIO.
