Silex Technology has launched a new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth SDIO module named SX-SDMAX, designed to improve wireless connectivity for the NXP i.MX series and other platforms. The module, using the NXP Semiconductors IW611 chipset, supports the latest 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standard, providing secure, reliable and easy-to-add wireless connectivity that allows better communication in dense environments. Silex Technology also offers custom driver development and patching services, helping NXP i.MX customers to eliminate driver development and integration efforts or get custom, local support to help design their products.
Silex Technology has designed the module to provide a product lifecycle of up to 10-15 years, enabling it to be used across multiple platforms and operating systems. The module has been optimized for the NXP i.MX applications processor families that integrate wireless drivers in the BSP software. The company’s ecosystem of global partners, including Silex Technology, enables NXP customers to create advanced devices across various industries. Larry Olivas, NXP Semiconductors’ Vice President and General Manager for Wireless Connectivity Solutions, said: “Silex’s extensive background in wireless connectivity for medical device and industrial manufacturers will benefit NXP customers, as they can develop products that require highly reliable and secure connectivity with expert local support”.
