Murata’s LBES5PL2EL IoT Module is a compact (7.7 x 8.8 x 1.3 mm) solution for integrating multiple wireless protocols into space-constrained end products.

The key chipset at the heart of the module is NXP’s IW612, which supports Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Bluetooth 5.3 (incl. LE), and 802.15.4 connectivity, as well as Matter for unified IoT platform support. On-device algorithms ensure the best coexistence of these multiple wireless protocols for maximised performance.

The LBES5PL2EL’s Wi-Fi is controlled via SDIO interface with up to 601 Mbps PHY data rate, and the Bluetooth is controlled via UART interface with up to 2 Mbps PHY data rate. This IoT module operates on 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands with an external antenna required to ensure the most compact package and best matching requirements for your applications. The shielded design makes it well suited for power-sensitive applications that include IoT sensor nodes, handheld connected devices, and IoT gateways. LE audio functionality also enables voice-controlled products with the LBES5PL2EL.

For more detailed technical specifications, please consult this official datasheet.

M.2 LBES5PL2EL evaluation board by Embedded Artists

Murata recommends the 2EL M.2 module by Embedded Artists (pictured) for evaluation of this technology. This board offers easy swapping of different wireless modules in prototyping systems and connections for the external antennas required to get this connectivity working.
