A Smart SDR with MEMS and GPS

NVX-ORC-A6x combines advanced wideband RF processing capabilities with integrated GPS/GLONASS and a 10-axis MEMS positioning sensor — all packed into a compact M.2 form factor with broad out-of-the-box compatibility across modern platforms.

Early Access

Overview

The NVX-ORC-A6x is a highly integrated and compatible radio module that combines modern wideband radio processing capabilities based on a AMD Artix-7 FPGA with a high-frequency RFIC transceiver (AD936x) from Analog Devices. Its compact size, high compatibility, and performance radically simplify product development, making the NVX-ORC-A6x an ideal choice wherever small dimensions, rich functionality, and high performance are required. In an M.2 form factor, the NVX-ORC-A6x can be used in millions of host devices that support PCIe-based SSDs.

About me
Kostya Tiutin
Founder & Developer NVX-ORC
I am an engineer with 17 years of experience in the field of radioelectronic industry.

I believe! SDR computing should be available to everyone and be a friend to the green world.

SDR opens a gateway into an entirely different world — a world of other colors, invisible to the human eye, yet always present around us.

Together, we can build something greater than just a radio transmission system — we can deeply integrate this technology into our everyday lives, bringing about a true revolution in communication systems.
