Murata has partnered with NXP Semiconductor to offer Murata’s wireless module kits that interface with the NXP i.MX 6 reference platforms making a complete Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity environment for building world-class, Internet-connected products. Murata’s wireless kits offer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth development capability to the SABRE (Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering) board, for smart devices, that introduces developers to multicore processing, low-power consumption, and leading-edge multimedia and graphics applications on the i.MX 6 series of applications processors.

The Type 1DX module is an ultra-small module that includes 2.4 GHz WLAN and Bluetooth functionality. Based on Cypress Semiconductor's BCM4343W, the module provides high-efficiency RF front-end circuits. The module is designed to fit into small spaces and is smaller than a dime. Minimal external circuitry is required to complete a radio design; add an antenna, power source, clocks, processor, and associated interface hardware and the radio hardware design is complete. To ease Wi-Fi certification, the Type 1DX module complies with IEEE 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth Version 4.1 plus EDR, Power Class 1 (10 dBm maximum) + BLE. Software is available for Linux and Android.

The Type 1FX module is an ultra-small module that includes 2.4 GHz WLAN functionality. Based on Cypress Semiconductor's BCM43364, the module provides high-efficiency RF front-end circuits. The module is designed to fit into small spaces and is smaller than a dime. Minimal external circuitry is required to complete a radio design; add an antenna, power source, clocks, processor, and associated interface hardware and the radio hardware design is complete. To ease Wi-Fi certification, the Type 1FX module complies with IEEE 802.11b/g/n. Software is available for Linux and Android.

The Type 1CK module is a very-high performance, certified module that includes 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz WLAN and Bluetooth functionality for consumer-grade applications. Based on Cypress Semiconductor's BCM4339, the module provides IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0+EDR. No radio design is required with its embedded antenna. Software is available for Linux and Android.
