Silex SX-SDMAX: Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity for Robots and AGVs
18. February 2026 | Planegg
Mobile robots and AGVs rely on stable wireless links for remote operation, fleet coordination, and continuous data transfer. SX-SDMAX addresses these requirements by combining dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3, implemented as an SDIO 3.0 combo module designed for NXP platforms and powered by the NXP IW611 chipset.
Wi-Fi 6 features such as OFDMA and Target Wake Time help maintain throughput and predictable latency when many devices share the same airspace, while also improving power efficiency for battery-operated systems.
For industrial deployment, integration effort and lifecycle strategy are as important as RF performance. Silex positions SX-SDMAX to help NXP and i.MX users reduce driver development and integration overhead with dedicated support options.
Benefits of Silex SX-SDMAX:
• Wi-Fi 6 dual-band plus Bluetooth 5.3
• Roaming performance for mobile systems
• Low latency and high throughput
• Low energy consumption
• Driver development and patching by Silex
• Long product life cycle (10-15 years)
