Wireless Module Partners

Leading wireless connectivity solution providers offer NXP wireless modules in their wireless connectivity solutions. Module manufacturers develop Wi-Fi modules using NXP’s broad portfolio of Wi-Fi chips (system-on-chip (SoC)), including Wi-Fi 6 chips, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® combo integrated circuits (ICs) and tri-radio SoCs with 802.15.4. NXP enables a broad range of wireless applications with an ecosystem of wireless module partners.

Why Use a Module Vendor?

Accelerate time-to-market
Avoid the complexity of RF design and testing
Ensure regulatory compliance more easily (e.g. FCC, CE, ISED)
Focus on the host product’s functionality while relying on the vendor for wireless performance
