A New Era in Connectivity: Unveiling the Panasonic PAN9019/PAN9019A Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Module





Have you ever dreamed of a seamless, high-speed, and energy-efficient wireless world? Well, that dream is now a reality, thanks to the latest innovation from Panasonic. Today, I am thrilled to share with you the groundbreaking launch of the PAN9019/PAN9019A Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module. This cutting-edge module promises to bring a new dimension to wireless connectivity, and I'm here to tell you all about it.



First things first, let’s dive into what makes the PAN9019/PAN9019A so special. This innovative module is a dual-band, 2.4GHz/5GHz, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi radio module with integrated Bluetooth BDR/EDR/Low Energy (LE), and an optional 802.15.4 radio (PAN9019A). One standout feature is the Target Wake Time (TW) feature, which significantly lowers power consumption.

The PAN9019/PAN9019A modules can simultaneously operate across three standards. This means you get high data rates (Wi-Fi 6 compliant) while also saving energy (BLE and 802.15.4). This unique combination offers exceptional flexibility in wireless connectivity, making it an ideal solution for a diverse range of applications across various industries.



What truly excites me about the PAN9019/PAN9019A is its versatility. Imagine a smart home where your lighting, heating, security, and entertainment systems all communicate seamlessly. Now, extend that imagination to smart buildings, IoT devices, asset monitoring, medical equipment, lighting control, and industrial applications. The PAN9019/PAN9019A fits into all these scenarios like a glove.

Simon Wong, Product Engineer at Panasonic Industry, summed it up perfectly: "This versatile module is well-suited for various applications, including smart home/building, IoT, asset monitoring, medical, lighting control, and industrial applications, offering state-of-the-art wireless connectivity solutions that enable seamless integration and control of multiple devices." In essence, this module is not just a piece of technology; it’s a revolution in how we connect and control our world.



Now, let’s talk about the features that make the PAN9019/PAN9019A a game-changer. This module supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 802.15.4 combo module (PAN9019A). It is Wi-Fi 6 compliant, which includes features like up to 600 Mbps (MCS11, 80 MHz channel bandwidth), OFDMA (UL/DL), MU-MIMO (UL/DL), WPA3 Security, and Target Wake Time.

The Bluetooth 5.4 support with Low Energy and long-range capabilities ensures robust and efficient connectivity. Additionally, it offers generic interfaces such as SDIO 3.0, high-speed UART, and SPI for host processor connection. With OS driver support for RTOS, Linux®, and Android™, the PAN9019/PAN9019A is designed to integrate effortlessly with your existing systems.



Finally, let’s geek out over some technical specifications. The PAN9019/PAN9019A is a Surface Mount Type (SMT), measuring 15.3 mm × 12 mm × 2.5 mm. The PAN9019 houses an NXP® IW611 WLAN 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, Bluetooth single-chip solution, while the PAN9019A includes an NXP IW612 WLAN 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, Bluetooth, and 802.15.4 single-chip solution.

The module boasts a remarkable Rx sensitivity of -98 dBm at IEEE 802.11b, 1 Mbps, and supports IEEE 802.11ax 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz channel bandwidth. It operates with a power supply of 1.8 V and 3.3 V and supports SDIO 1-bit or 4-bit. Plus, it can function in a wide temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, making it suitable for various environments.



In conclusion, the PAN9019/PAN9019A Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo module by Panasonic is not just another addition to the wireless module portfolio; it is a giant leap towards a more connected and efficient future. Whether you are an engineer, a tech enthusiast, or someone looking to upgrade your smart home, this module offers the performance, flexibility, and reliability you need.
