Product description
EMMY-W1 is an ultra-compact multi-radio module providing Wi-Fi, Classic, and low energy Bluetooth, and NFC in extended temperature range: from -40 °C to +85 °C offered in automotive and professional grades. It is designed for both simultaneous and independent operations of:
• Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11ac and a/b/g/n
• Dual-mode Bluetooth v4.2
• NFC
EMMY-W1 is an SMD component and provides a complete wireless modem solution that can easily be integrated into the application. The RF module can be connected to a host processor through SDIO and High-Speed UART interfaces. The module is radio-type approved for Europe (CE), the United States (FCC) and Canada (IC) (approvals pending).
