Renesas RRQ61001 and RRQ61051 Ultra-Low Power Wi-Fi 6 IoT Modules

Ultra-Low Power Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity for Advanced IoT Designs

Renesas RRQ61001 and RRQ61051 modules deliver a compact, certified, and ultra-low power wireless solution for next-generation IoT applications. Built on the RA6W1 MCU with a 160MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor, these modules combine high performance, robust security, and flexible connectivity in a single-chip platform.

Designed for power-constrained and space-limited designs, both modules dynamically disable unused MCU resources to achieve near-zero power consumption when idle. This makes them ideal for always-connected devices that must balance performance, security, and energy efficiency.

Two Module Options to Match Your Connectivity Needs

RRQ61001 Ultra-Low Power Wi-Fi 6 Module

Provides dual-band Wi-Fi 6 connectivity in a compact form factor for standalone IoT devices that require secure, low-power wireless networking.

RRQ61051 Ultra-Low Power Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE Module

Adds Bluetooth LE 5.1 connectivity, enabling device provisioning, local control, and short-range communication alongside high-speed Wi-Fi.

Both modules share a common hardware footprint, feature set, and development ecosystem, simplifying design reuse across multiple product variants.
