It delivers secure, high-performance wireless connectivity while offloading processing from the host processor, enabling efficient embedded system design and faster product development. The IM-100 supports **dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz**, providing higher throughput, improved network efficiency, lower latency, and extended range compared to previous-generation wireless standards. It is engineered for reliable performance in space-constrained and power-sensitive embedded systems. Designed for **FIPS 140-3 environments**, the IM-100 is well-suited for deployment in regulated, security-focused applications where trusted wireless communication is required. It uniquely includes an RNDIS driver, enabling plug-and-play wireless connectivity across Windows, Linux, and RTOS platforms, accelerating integration into OEM products and IoT devices. - [ Download product brief ](https://www.silextechnology.com/hubfs/IM-100-Product%20Brief-1.pdf?hsLang=en-us) - [ Where to buy ](https://www.arrow.com/en/products/im-100-evb/silex-technology-america?q=IM-100-EVB) - [ Evaluate now ](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/embedded-wireless/im-100-evaluation?hsLang=en-us) ![IM-100(MHF)_150x150](https://www.silextechnology.com/hubfs/IM-100(MHF)_150x150.png) ![IM-100(PAD)_150x150](https://www.silextechnology.com/hubfs/IM-100(PAD)_150x150.png) Features/Benefits **Plug-and-play RNDIS enablement** Exclusively offering [RNDIS enablement](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNVCwupR7_Q) through a USB cable, the IM-100 provides immediate wireless connectivity across Windows, Linux, and RTOS platforms. This eliminates the need for additional driver development. **Enterprise-grade operation modes in firmware** Firmware includes support for the following operation modes. These functions help customers save time and development costs. • Ethernet to Wi-Fi bridging: Add wireless connectivity to any device with an ethernet interface available by Silex's industry-proven ethernet to WLAN bridging function. • RNDIS to Wi-Fi bridging: Silex is an exclusive NXP partner with RNDIS enablement through a USB cable. Customers can add wireless connectivity via USB interface for Windows OS-based products without any driver development. It supports the RNDIS function in the firmware.  • Serial to Wi-Fi bridging: Many legacy RS-232C-based devices can add wireless connectivity by integrating IM-100 via the serial interface.  **Enterprise security** IM-100 supports TLS encryption protocols for secure communication. It has secure authentication methods like WPA/WPA3, Wi-Fi enterprise security, and Bluetooth LE secure connections. **Lower development costs and faster time to market** **• **The IM-100 can act as the main CPU, eliminating the need to install a separate CPU and reducing component costs for the customer. **• **Has regulatory certifications for North America, Europe, and Japan. By designing the module to extend/expand memory outside the module, adding additional memory will not affect module certification. **• **No wireless driver development costs are needed. Customers can customize the radio functionality and even build applications for their products by using NXP MCUXpresso's SDK, IDE, and configuration tools. **Multiple antenna options** The IM-100 has a U.FL connector allowing customers to choose and connect their U.FL antenna directly to the module. It also provides an option to bypass the U.FL connector allowing customers to print antennas on their PCB connected directly to the module antenna trace. The modules are globally certified for use with a range of external antennas.  Specifications ![](https://www.silextechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-01-2024-09-52-54-3040-PM.png?width=858&height=500&name=image-png-Mar-01-2024-09-52-54-3040-PM.png) | **Product Name** |  IM-100(MHF)   IM-100(PAD) | | --- | --- | | **Radio Chipset** |  RW610 (NXP) | | **On Board CPU** |  ARM-M33 260MHz | | **Memory** |  1.2MB (Built-in RW610)              → Memory Expansion: Extra memory can be mounted on the customer's board. | | **Radio Specifications** |  WLAN: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax (1x1)   BT: Bluetooth® LE v5.3 | | **Supported Interface** |  LAN(100Base), USB2.0, UARTx2 (Option: SPI, SDIO) | | **Security** |  WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise  802.11x (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP, EAP-FAST) | | **Operating Voltage** |  3.3V +/-5% | | **Operating Temperature** |  -40 to +85 degrees C | | **Dimensions** |  17.0 x 18.0 x 2.65 mm (L x W x H) | | **Modular Certifications** |  FCC / IC / CE / MIC | Documentation [IM-100 Product Specifications](https://www.silextechnology.com/productspecs/im-100?hsLang=en-us) Video Demo: Evaluation Kit for USB RNDIS Interface   ###### Helpful Links - [Evaluate IM-100](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/embedded-wireless/im-100-evaluation?hsLang=en-us) - [IM-100 Product Specifications](https://www.silextechnology.com/productspecs/im-100?hsLang=en-us) - [Eval Kit USB RNDIS Demo](https://youtu.be/lNVCwupR7_Q?si=5F86_Xoa2CXSfqD7) ###### Support Having trouble?
