NINA-B1 series - System Integration ManualUBX-15026175 - R09 System descriptionPage 5 of 491 System description1.1 Overview and applicationsThe NINA-B1 series modules are small stand-alone Bluetooth low energy modules featuring Bluetooth 5, apowerful Arm® Cortex ® -M4 with FPU, and state-of-the-art power performance. The embedded low power crystalin NINA-B1 minimizes power consumption, thus extending the battery life.The NINA-B1 is delivered with u-blox connectivity software that provides support for u-blox Bluetooth lowenergy Serial Port Service, GATT client and server, beacons, NFC™, and simultaneous peripheral and central roles– all configurable from a host by using AT commands.NINA-B1 offers full flexibility for customers who prefer to add their application to run on the built-inCortex-M4 with FPU. With 512 kB flash and 64 kB RAM, it offers the best-in-class capacity for customerapplications running on top of the Bluetooth low energy stack using SDK from Nordic Semiconductor orArm ® Mbed™. Additionally, NFC and interfaces such as SPI, I2C, and I2S are available, and features like BluetoothMesh, AirFuel, and Apple HomeKit are also supported. In combination with Wirepas Connectivity stack, NINA-B1can form large scale industrial mesh networks for several applications, such as lighting, asset tracking, andmetering.NINA-B112 comes with an internal antenna and NINA-B111 has a pin for use with an external antenna. Theinternal PIFA antenna is specifically designed for the small NINA-B1 form factor and provides an extensive rangeof more than 300 m, independent of ground plane and component placement.The module is globally certified for use with the internal antenna or a range of external antennas. This reducestime and effort for customers integrating NINA-B1 in their designs.Table 1: NINA-B1 series main features summary
