Overview and applications  

NINA-B1 series modules are small stand-alone Bluetooth low energy modules featuring Bluetooth 5, 
a powerful Arm

®

 Cortex

®

-M4 with FPU, and state-of-the-art power performance. The embedded low 

power crystal in NINA-B1 minimizes power consumption, thus extending the battery life. 

The NINA-B1 is delivered with u-connectXpress software that provides support for u-blox Bluetooth 
low energy 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-in  
Cortex-M4 with FPU. With 512 kB flash and 64 kB RAM, it offers the best-in-class capacity for 
customer  applications running on top of the Bluetooth low energy stack using the Software 
Development Kit (SDK) from Nordic Semiconductor or Arm® Mbed™. Additionally, NFC and interfaces 
such as SPI, I2C, and I2S are available, and features like Bluetooth Mesh, AirFuel, and Apple HomeKit 
are also supported. In combination with Wirepas Connectivity stack, NINA-B1 can form large-scale 
industrial mesh networks for several applications, such as lighting, asset tracking, and metering. 

NINA-B112 comes with an internal antenna and NINA-B111 has a pin for use with an external antenna. 
The internal PIFA antenna is specifically designed for the small NINA-B1 form factor and provides an 
extensive range of 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 
reduces time and effort for customers integrating NINA-B1 in their designs.
