Simultaneous station and access point mode are supported for broad Wi-Fi application use cases. Additionally, it features the latest Bluetooth 4.2/BLE (Dual-Mode) standards to connect low power sensors or other devices such as smartphones, tablets or PCs. The Colibri iMX6ULL comes with full wireless certifications for several countries to lower initial costs and time to market.
