Wireless Connectivity

Wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®LE, and NFC make up the backbone of everyday IoT applications. As a wireless pioneer and the market leader with over 1 billion units shipped, Infineon has solved the technical challenges of wireless connectivity including wireless co-existence and low-power wireless. Infineon also drives the future direction of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®LE, and Matter through their standards bodies.

Wireless connectivity: Bluetooth®

AIROC™ Bluetooth® & Multiprotocol

For the most reliable and highest performing connectivity for your applications, Infineon offers the AIROC™ Bluetooth® portfolio, consisting of Bluetooth® Low Energy only and dual-mode Bluetooth® solutions that support Bluetooth® Classic as well as Bluetooth® Low Energy. The portfolio includes Bluetooth® SIG-compliant devices and modules that integrate Bluetooth® standard profiles and protocols for embedded applications. 

Bluetooth® Low Energy kit

The AIROC™ Bluetooth® LE system on chip evaluation kit enables you to evaluate and develop single-chip Bluetooth® Low Energy applications using the AIROC™ CYW20835, an ultra-low-power Bluetooth® LE 5.2 system on a chip. The CYW20835 is a stand-alone baseband processor with an integrated 2.4 GHz transceiver. This kit helps evaluate device functionality and develop applications quickly for faster time-to-market.

Bluetooth modules

Infineon's fully integrated, certified, and programmable AIROC™ Bluetooth® modules let you easily build products faster and with minimized risk by giving you pre-built modules that are certified for multiple global regulatory bodies. These modules get you to production faster with pre-configured software along with partner support and services.

Wireless connectivity: NFC

NFC for smart wearables

Smart wearables and IoT devices are becoming increasingly popular. Equipped with NFC they can let you pay at a store, ride public transportation, and even enter your office building. With Infineon’s SECORA™ Connect NFC wearable solutions you can easily add secure payments and biometric authentication within the size and power limitations for wearables.

NFC for Wi-Fi commissioning

Quick, easy, and secure Wi-Fi commissioning can be challenging for IoT devices, especially the devices without a keyboard or screen. NFC presents a quick and secure way to provision the Wi-Fi credentials. Our demo shows how quick and secure Wi-Fi onboarding can be done for applications like appliances, lighting, speakers, TVs, and thermostats.

Secured NFC accessory authentication

Using genuine accessories and consumables enhances consumer trust by ensuring a reliable and consistent product experience. Infineon’s embedded NFC tags and microcontroller solution lets you authenticate accessories like an electric toothbrush head and to personalize the way the toothbrush performs based on the type of toothbrush head attached. 

Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi

AIROC™ Wi-Fi 6E Solution

Wi-Fi 6E promises to bring improved reliability and bandwidth for congested wireless environments by opening up the 6 GHz band. With lower latency and power consumption, communication is more efficient compared to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Infineon has partnered with NVIDIA on a demo to show how Infineon’s Wi-Fi 6E capabilities with NVIDIA’s AI platform deliver low latency and improved user experience for AI applications.

Wireless support for Matter

As the number of smart home devices increases, the interoperability between the different products, ecosystems and protocols gets messier. Emerging protocol standards like Matter solve this problem. As a member of the Connectivity Standards Alliance board, Infineon shapes the Matter 1.1 specification and also supports Matter over Wi-Fi and Thread with its AIROC™ wireless connectivity portfolio. 

Wireless module partners

Designing wireless IoT systems requires RF and certification expertise. Infineon’s global wireless module partners let you develop your IoT application on-time, on-budget, and with minimal risk. Using a pre-certified wireless module, you avoid costly antenna and RF design and spend less time for wireless certification.
