What's inside KORLINX
- The NX40 Dev Kit is a compact development board used for evaluating and prototyping applications with the KORLINX NX40 Series module. It allows developers to test BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) application behavior, onboard sensors, user inputs, and battery-oriented workflows before moving to a custom PCB design.
Overview of the KORLINX NX15 Series BLE Module
The KORLINX NX15 Series is an ultra-compact Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.4 module based on the Nordic nRF54L15 platform. It is designed for integration into custom devices or host PCBs to provide a wireless and processing foundation for IoT applications, reducing the need for custom RF design.
Key technical capabilities include:
- Bluetooth LE 5.4 support.
- 2.4 GHz multiprotocol support (including 802.15.4 for Thread and Zigbee).
- Matter over Thread readiness (depending on the software stack).
- LGA package for surface-mount designs.
Overview of KORLINX NEO-Edge40 capabilities
The KORLINX NEO-Edge40 is an edge platform that connects wireless sensors, industrial equipment, and field I/O to local or remote systems. It integrates data collection, edge processing, communications, and output control. Key capabilities include:

Understand KORLINX cloud connectivity architecture
KORLINX cellular and WiFi modules feature built-in TLS stacks and MQTT clients, allowing them to connect directly to cloud platforms without requiring an external gateway. The data flow follows this path: KORLINX Module → (Cellular / WiFi) → Cloud Platform → Dashboard / Application.KORLINX Module → (Cellular / WiFi) → Cloud Platform → Dashboard / ApplicationAS-611Bn Radar Module Overview
The AS-611Bn is a compact 60 GHz pulsed radar module featuring an integrated antenna and signal processing. It provides sensor data via UART or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The module supports two primary sensing functions: Distance (D) and Vital-sign (V) detection. Note that not all commercial units may support both functions; verify the installed model and firmware version (referenced to manual Ver.4.0 Jun.2026) before use.AS-613 Application Mode License Requirements
The AS-613 provides application-specific modes for restroom monitoring (Mode 12), hospital-bed monitoring (Mode 13), and room presence tracking (Mode 14). While evaluation samples typically include these option modes, mass-production availability depends on the specific license. Before configuring these modes, developers should record the SKU, hardware revision, firmware version (viavercommand), and the list of enabled modes.Understand Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) fundamentals
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a low-power wireless technology designed for short-range communication and small data exchange. Unlike standard wireless technologies that maintain continuous connections, BLE devices remain in sleep mode most of the time, waking up only to advertise, connect, or exchange data. This makes it ideal for battery-powered IoT devices such as sensors, beacons, wearables, and smart home devices.Advanced IoT deployment topics for KORLINX products
KORLINX provides deep-dive guides for experienced developers building production IoT deployments. Key advanced technical areas include:
- AT Scripting: Automating module behavior via AT command scripts stored in flash.
- Custom Firmware: Building and flashing custom firmware based on the Nordic SDK or Zephyr.
- Multi-Network Failover: Implementing automatic failover between cellular, WiFi, and Ethernet connections.
- Power Optimization: Configuring Power Saving Mode (PSM), extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX), and sleep modes to maximize battery life.
- Security Hardening: Managing certificates, implementing TLS pinning, and configuring secure boot.
- OTA Updates: Implementing firmware over-the-air update workflows.
Understand KSE-91A default network attachment
The KSE-91A modem is designed to attach to the cellular network automatically upon power-on. The built-in display indicates the current state: 'Boot' (powering up), 'Starting' (initializing), 'Connecting' (searching/attaching, typically takes up to 1 minute), and 'Connected' (online and attached).Configure the NX15E external antenna interface
The NX15E Series uses an on-module u.FL / UMCC-compatible 50 Ω RF connector. This is intended for products where the antenna must be placed outside an enclosure or away from the main PCB for improved RF exposure.
