August 5, 2026 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the NORA-W40 Wi-Fi® 6 modules from u-blox. The NORA-W40 series consists of stand-alone, multi-radio modules featuring both a powerful microcontroller (MCU) and a radio for wireless communication. The NORA-W40 modules are ideal for adding advanced wireless connectivity to end products, with applications including low-power wireless sensors, industrial automation, smart buildings, smart cities, medical devices, and telematics.
The u-blox NORA-W40 modules, now available at Mouser, are small microcontroller units (MCUs) based on Espressif's ESP32-C6 System-on-Chip (SoC). The radio supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ax in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, Bluetooth Core v5.3, Zigbee® 3.0, and Thread 1.3 (802.15.4), all of which coexist and share the same antenna. Support for the Matter protocol over Thread and Wi-Fi enables interoperability across a growing range of smart home products. With an open CPU architecture, the NORA-W40 modules allow users to develop advanced applications running on a single-core high-power 32-bit RISC-V MCU and a low-power 32-bit RISC-V MCU. The NORA-W40 modules have a separate low-power (LP) RISC-V co-processor, LP I2C, and LP UART to meet the needs of low-power sensor applications. The NORA-W40 modules include hardware security features such as secure boot with a hardware root of trust, a trusted execution environment controller, cryptographic hardware accelerators, encrypted flash, and protection of the debug port. Wireless communication can be secured with WPA2/WPA3 authentication, Wi-Fi enterprise security, TLS encryption, HTTPS, and Bluetooth LE secure connection pairing.
The NORA-W406 modules include an internal PCB trace antenna with antenna technology licensed from Abracon, while the NORA-W401 modules feature a module pin to connect to an external antenna of choice. The NORA-W40 modules are supported by two NORA-W40 evaluation kits — the EVK-NORA-W401 for variants without an internal antenna, and the EVK-NORA-W406 for variants with the PCB trace antenna.
