Advantech is expanding its industrial wireless portfolio with the AIW-411 —an ultra-compact wireless microprocessor (MCU) module built on the Open Standard Module (OSM) Size-0 (30 × 15 mm) form factor. Powered by the NXP RW612 wireless MCU with an Arm® Cortex®-M33 core running at 260 MHz, AIW-411 brings secure, always-on Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) 5.3 connectivity to space-constrained industrial IoT endpoints.
As an NXP partner, Advantech brings deep expertise in industrial-grade design, manufacturing scale and global after-sales support. By combining its OSM module design with the NXP RW612 wireless MCU, Advantech helps developers move from evaluation to production faster without compromising security or long-term reliability.

Industrial IoT deployments face an increasing demand to balance robust wireless performance with strong device security and low power draw, often within tight board-space constraints. AIW-411 addresses this gap by pairing Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, 2.4/5 GHz, 1T1R) with Bluetooth LE 5.3 on a single module. This solution is backed by hardware-based security including an EdgeLock® Secure Enclave, Secure Boot, WPA2/WPA3 (personal and enterprise) and AES-256 encryption support.
For energy-sensitive designs, the module supports low-power features such as Target Wake Time (TWT) and deep sleep modes, allowing developers to extend battery life and reduce overall system power without sacrificing connectivity.
At just 30 × 15 mm, the AIW-411 is designed to conserve board space in dense embedded designs. The module is rated for industrial operating temperatures from -40 °C to 85 °C. By positioning the AIW-411 for a long-term product life cycle, it is designed with OEMs in mind as they develop equipment with multi-year deployment cycles.
The module exposes a broad set of peripheral interfaces for sensor and human-machine interface (HMI)-enabled endpoints including:
The above features give developers flexibility to integrate AIW-411 into a wide range of gateway, sensor and edge node designs.
AIW-411 supports FreeRTOS and Zephyr and is backed by NXP's MCUXpresso software development kit (SDK) tooling. This equips developers with a familiar, real-time operating system (RTOS)-ready development path. As a whole, this works to shorten the time between initial evaluation and production-ready firmware.
Advantech's AIW-411 targets a range of connected endpoints including:
To support the path from concept to deployment, Advantech provides the AIW-DK411 reference carrier board, complete schematics, documentation and design guidelines.
Advantech also offers global after-sales services such as schematic review consultation and production-ready resources, including reflow profiles and manufacturing QC support.
