Stand-alone Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and multiradio modules
User Manual
Abstract
This document describes the system integration of NINA-W1 series stand-alone modules, which
includes the NINA-W13 (Wi-Fi) and NINA-W10 and NINA-W15 series (multiradio) and NINA-B2
(Bluetooth) modules. These modules feature a number of useful embedded security features,
including secure boot that ensures that only authenticated software can run on the module. NINA-
W1 modules are ideal for critical IoT applications where security is important. The modules connect
to a host system using UART, high-speed RMII, or GPIO interfaces.
