u-blox IRIS-W10 Modules

u-blox IRIS-W10 Modules are a series of high-performance, stand-alone, tri-radio, Wi-Fi® 6, and BLUETOOTH® LE modules. The devices provide strong Wi-Fi channel security and reliability, improved network efficiency, and lower power consumption.

The u-blox IRIS-W10 modules demonstrate an NXP RW612 wireless Micro Controller Unit (MCU) with an integrated tri-radio. The IRIS-W10 supports Wi-Fi 6 technology, Bluetooth LE 5.3, 802.15.4 low-rate wireless networks, and open-standard Matter over Wi-Fi, Thread, and Ethernet connectivity. The IRIS-W1 is the ideal solution for securely connecting products in business and home ecosystems, incorporating both PCB and external antenna options.

The IRIS-W101 modules do not support an internal antenna, allowing the PCB outline to be trimmed to 14.6mm x 16.8mm. Instead of an internal antenna, the RF signal is housed on a module pin for routing to an external antenna or antenna connector.

The IRIS-W106 is equipped with an internal PCB trace antenna using antenna technology licensed from Abracon. The RF signal is not available for external connection. The module outline is 14.6mm x 20.9mm.

The Open CPU module configuration embeds a powerful Arm® Cortex®-M33 MCU, clocked up to 260MHz with 1.2MB RAM and 8MB flash, and supports several peripheral interfaces (UART, USB, SPI, SDIO, RMII, QVGA, I2S, I2C, and GPIOs). The IRIS-W10 will be assessed for compliance with the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED). Certification approval is also planned in the following countries: US (FCC), Canada (ISED), Japan (MIC), Taiwan (NCC), South Korea (KCC), Australia /New Zealand (ACMA), Brazil (ANATEL), and South Africa (ICASA).

The modules will be qualified for professional-grade operation, with an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
