AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the advanced IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth

combo module - AW-NM372SM. The module is targeted to mobile and embedded devices which

need small footprint package, low power consumption, and multiple OS support. The module

supports 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11n MAC/baseband/radio, and Bluetooth 5.1 functionality. It also features

an integrated Power Management Unit (PMU), Power Amplifiers (PAs), and a Low Noise Amplifier

(LNA) to address the needs of mobile devices that require minimal power consumption and compact

size. By using AW-NM372SM, the customers can easily enable the Wi-Fi and BT embedded

applications with the benefits of high design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick time-to-

market. Specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using

AW-NM372SM. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 (personal) and WEP encryption, the AW-

NM372SM also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through AES and TKIP acceleration

hardware for faster data encryption. For the video, voice and multimedia applications the AW-

NM372SM support 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS). The host interface is SDIO v2.0 interface.

For Bluetooth operation, the AW-NM372SM is Bluetooth Core Specification 5.1 compliance. The

Bluetooth transmitter also features a Class 1 power amplifier. The AW-NM372SM supports extended

Synchronous Connections (eSCO), for enhanced voice quality by allowing for retransmission of

dropped packets, and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) for reducing radio frequency interference.

It also incorporates all Bluetooth 5.1 compliance features including secure simple pairing, sniff

subrating, and encryption pause and resume and supports Bluetooth 5.1 compliance LE Secure

Connections. An independent, high-speed UART is provided for the Bluetooth host interface. The

Bluetooth subsystem presents a standard Host Controller Interface (HCI) via a high speed UART

and PCM for audio.
