Overview

The WT02E40C is a high-performance tri-radio module from Fanstel integrating Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread) capabilities. Based on a dual-core ARM Cortex-M33 processor with TrustZone and CryptoCell-312, it provides a secure and powerful platform for sophisticated IoT gateway applications. This module features a U.FL connector for external antennas and supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.

Why Choose This Part

It offers exceptional multi-protocol flexibility by supporting Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), BLE, and Zigbee simultaneously from a single module. Security is a primary focus, featuring hardware-accelerated crypto, TrustZone, and an NFC-A tag for secure touch-to-pair commissioning.

Applications

Matter Gateways
Acts as a bridge between Wi-Fi and Thread/Zigbee networks in modern smart home ecosystems.
Industrial IoT Routers
Provides dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity for industrial monitoring with low-power 802.15.4 sensor integration.
Edge Computing Hubs
Utilizes the dual-core Cortex-M33 and 512kB RAM to process local sensor data before uploading via Wi-Fi 6.
