NINA-W13 Series Stand-Alone Wi-Fi Modules

Secure industrial grade modules featuring u-connect software

The u-blox NINA-W13 series is a small stand-alone wireless MCU module featuring innovative u-connectXpress software which is both easy to use and made to reduce time to market, risk and cost. NINA-W13 modules integrate a powerful microcontroller (MCU) and a radio to enable seamless wireless communication to the end product.

The host system of the u-blox NINA-W13 series can set up and control the module through the AT command interface. The NINA-W13 modules provide top grade security, thanks to secure boot, which ensures the module boots up only with original u-blox software. In addition, they provide end-to-end security on the wireless link and enterprise security to provide a secure connection to the infrastructure. This makes NINA-W13 ideal for critical IoT applications where security is important.
