2 Key features
The possibility of replacing serial cables with simple wireless connections is a key feature of u-blox modules. It allows system hosts to transfer data to one another over wireless Bluetooth connections that are established between u-blox modules in Central/Peripheral configuration.
Depending on the module capabilities, data from each host is transferred to local u-blox modules over a serial UART interface.
u-blox modules can be configured to automatically establish new connections and/or accept incoming connections using AT commands. For connected hosts, this means that physical serial cables can be replaced with more convenient wireless solutions.

NORA-W36 can function as either a Central or Peripheral unit, connecting to devices such as laptops, cellular phones, and tablets using the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT).
2.2 Bluetooth SPS connection
NORA-W36 can function as either a Central or Peripheral unit, connecting to devices such as laptops, cellular phones, and tablets via the u-blox Serial Port Service (SPS).
2.3 Wi-Fi station connection
NORA-W36 can operate as a Station connecting to an Access Point.
2.4 Wi-Fi access point connection
NORA-W36 can operate as an Access Point connecting to other devices that operate as Stations.
