Develop Secure and Accurate Ranging Applications
with NXP’s MCX W72 Platform
Share Accurate and secure distance measurements are crucial for industrial
IoT (IIoT) environments. Applications range from secure asset tracking
and automated warehouse systems to building automation and access
control systems. However, standard ranging methods struggle to deliver
the accuracy and security features modern IIoT applications demand.
NXP’s MCX W72 wireless microcontroller unit (MCU) addresses these challenges
with integrated Bluetooth® Channel Sounding and hardware support via FRDMMCXW72 and MCXW72-LOC development boards for rapid prototyping and
deployment.
