It also underscores a strong strategic alignment between the products of both companies and a shared mindset for delivering solutions to customers who are ahead of the curve.
The close relationship between NXP Semiconductors and Panasonic Industry allows customers to leverage the features of NXP's MCUXpresso software with integrated driver support for Panasonic's Wi-Fi solutions, such as the PAN9026 module in the i.MX RT MCU series. This valuable advantage simplifies and accelerates application development and speeds up the time-to-market process. Furthermore, the PAN9026 Dual-Band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module is compatible with Linux Full GPL for NXP's i.MX6 or i.MX8 and any other Linux-based application processor.

Pascal Meier, Product Marketing Manager for Sensors and Wireless Connectivity at Panasonic Industry, states: “We are very proud to have been awarded Gold Partner status within the NXP Membership Program because our customers benefit from the combined knowledge and expertise of both Panasonic and NXP. By combining the NXP 88W8977 SoC in the PAN9026 module, for example, we were able to integrate the most important short-range wireless technologies onto a single chip. Designed in Germany and manufactured in Slovakia, we can offer our customers the flexibility for a wide range of wireless applications.”.

In a joint webinar hosted by NXP Semiconductor and Panasonic Industry, we will showcase the potential of the Panasonic PAN9026 Wi-Fi module combined with NXP's i.MX RT microcontroller range. We will discuss the product advantages of coupling i.MX RT crossover MCUs with the PAN9026 module and present a live demonstration of the Panasonic Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo module running on i.MX RT1060 MCUs.

This webinar will take place on September 16th from 10:00 to 11:00 AM CEST. You can register for your virtual seat here.
