- K32W061/41 – BLE/ZigBee/NFC tag
- QN9090/30 – BLE/NFC tag
- JN5188/89 – ZigBee/NFC tag
In order to meet various application and using scenario, there are three module models available:
- MSK32W-M10 – Middle Power Module with PCB antenna

Introduction
The MSK32W-Myy module family provides designers with a ready-made component that provides a fully integrated solution for applications, using the NXP K32W061 series of chips they are ultra-low power, high performance Arm® Cortex®-M4 based wireless microcontrollers supporting ZigBee 3.0, Thread and Bluetooth Low Energy5.0 networking stacks to facilitate home and building automation, smart lighting, smart locks and sensor network applications.
The modules integrate all of the RF components required, removing the need to perform expensive RF design and test.Products can be designed by simply connecting sensors and switches to the module IO pins. Hence, this range of modules allowsdesigners to bring wireless applications to market in the minimum time with significantly reduced development effort and cost.
Due to NXP K32W series chips provide following different options
- K32W series – both support ZigBee and BLE with NFC option
- JN5189 series – Support ZigBee only with NFC option
- QN9090 series – Support BLE only with NFC option
Module can be following different options
- M10 – Support middle power with PCB antenna
- M13 – Support middle power with u-FL connector
- M16 – Support high power both PCB and u-FL connector diversity
The Bluetooth and ZigBee can’t transmit at the same time, M16 only supports the ZigBee function. All modules have
FCC , CE and Industry Canada modular approvals. The variants available are described below.
