Laird’s 60 series is powered by the Marvell 88W8997 chipset and offers flexibility to meet designers' needs. The series introduces 802.11ac, 2x2 MU-MIMO, Bluetooth 4.2, and Bluetooth 5 ready hardware on one low power module, delivering future-ready cutting edge technology for end products. Building on the security and robustness inherited from Laird’s expertise in its 40, 45, and 50 series modules means ultra-high data rates, improved performance, and the most reliable wireless in crucial applications such as medical and industrial.
