Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module for IoT applications

Alpha Micro has introduced the u-blox ODIN-W262, a compact stand-alone multiradio module designed to provide Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for a range of IoT applications. The ODIN-W262 can be used in retail devices and medical applications, for which the module complies with the IEC 60601-1-2 standard.

Measuring 14.8 x 22.3 x 4.5mm, the ODIN-W262 operates across a temperature range of -40 to 85°C. Applications include cable replacement running in Wireless Multidrop and Extended Data Mode for advanced multipoint operation with several radios operating simultaneously.

The ODIN-W262 requires no external host and comes complete with an embedded driver, stack and application for wireless data transfer. It supports multiple concurrent Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (v4.0) links and can be configured using AT-commands.

Also available is the EVK-W262U evaluation kit for the ODIN W-262 which uses a single USB connection for data and power and comes complete with the u-blox configuration tool for Windows. For applications where an external antenna is required, Alpha Micro offers the ODIN-W260 module with U.FL antenna connectors.
