A compact wireless module integrates multiple connectivity protocols, enabling secure, high-performance communication for smart home, industrial IoT and edge computing applications.
Quectel Wireless has introduced the FCM365X, a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.4 module based on the NXP RW612 wireless MCU. Designed for demanding IoT applications, the module also supports Zigbee and Thread, allowing developers to build products that operate across multiple wireless ecosystems while simplifying hardware design.
Powered by an Arm Cortex-M33 processor running at up to 260MHz, the FCM365X integrates 1.2MB of SRAM and 8MB of Flash memory, with optional PSRAM expansion available for applications requiring additional processing capability and memory. The module is intended for smart home devices, industrial automation, connected appliances and edge computing systems where reliable wireless communication is essential.
By combining Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee and Thread in a single platform, the module enables interoperability between different communication standards and supports future-ready designs. It includes standard interfaces such as GPIO, SDIO, UART, USB and JTAG, while the QuecOpen development environment also supports I²C, I²S, ADC, LCD and PWM interfaces for flexible peripheral integration.
Security features include compliance with WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA3-SAE standards, together with AES-128 encryption to help protect wireless communications. The module supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands through a 1×1 antenna, features an RF coaxial connector and also offers an optional PCB antenna.
Measuring 25.5mm × 18.0mm × 3.16mm, weighing 1.51g and operating across a –40°C to +85°C temperature range, the module is designed for compact, robust wireless products requiring secure, multi-protocol connectivity.
