Laird Connectivity Sterling-LWB+ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules

Laird Connectivity has released its Sterling-LWB+ modules. The Wi-Fi 4 (802.11b/g/n) and Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy-enabled devices are designed specifically for next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) products, such as battery-powered medical devices, Industrial IoT sensors, rugged handheld devices and other connectivity solutions.

The modules are powered by the Infineon AIROC CYW43439 chipset solution, supporting ongoing and secure performance in Industrial IoT settings with a full industrial temperature range (-40 to +85°C). Incorporating a fully featured Wi-Fi 4 radio enabled with software drivers and support, the high-performance SDIO solution allows easy integration with any Linux- or Android-based system. The modules are mechanically and pin compatible with the Sterling-LWB module, offering a simplified upgrade path for existing designs.

The modules support the latest WPA3 security standards, and the devices’ integrated power amplifier and low-noise amplifier (LNA) enable connectivity even in challenging RF environments. The devices are available with either an onboard chip antenna or an MHF connector for an external antenna, which can connect to a range of Laird Connectivity-certified internal antennas. The modules are certified to FCC, ISED, CE, UKCA, RCM, MIC and Bluetooth SIG registration, further speeding time to market.
