Three radio modules provide the latest wireless technology for iot implementation

     U-blox introduces MAYA-W4, a cost-effective three-radio module that provides the latest wireless connectivity technology for the mass market. Supporting dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 and 802.15.4 (for thread support substances), the module will redefine the iot application landscape in different industries and improve device connectivity and interoperability. u-blox MAYA-W4 combines Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE 5.4, and 802.15.4 to provide reliable, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity to the iot ecosystem.

     The multifunctional module combines three of the most critical wireless technologies into a compact, energy-efficient module that addresses the growing demand for reliable and secure connectivity. Whether it's delivering low-power mesh networking for smart homes or high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for industrial tools, it offers developers and manufacturers unmatched flexibility. Its compact size and rugged design make it ideal for space-constrained applications, while its comprehensive global certification ensures seamless deployment across geographies.

     Recent market data from TSR shows that the module meets the market demand for Wi-Fi 6 solutions due to the rapid adoption of Wi-Fi 6 in the iot space. It eases network congestion, improves power efficiency, and has a temperature range of -40 ° C to +85 ° C, making it ideal for industrial environments. With its entry-level feature set and optimized data throughput, the module provides cost-effective connectivity without compromising performance. The inclusion of 802.15.4 allows for low-power iot and mesh networking, providing gateways for the next generation of smart connected devices.

     The new module also simplifies the design effort, allowing manufacturers to expand their device designs based on current and future markets. A variety of antenna variants are available, and designers can choose between pin outputs, embedded antennas, or ufl. Connector (s) configuration. The company has simplified the migration of previous generations by maintaining the same compact dimensions as its predecessor (10mm x 14mm x 1.9mm).

     "The u-blox tri-radio MAYA-W4 module integrates our newly released NXP Semiconductor IW610 chipset to provide the latest wireless connectivity technology for other sectors such as industrial, medical and consumer," said Larry Olivas, vice president and general manager of NXP Wireless Connectivity Solutions. "As a gold partner and part of our broader go-to-market strategy, u-blox has played an important role in providing strong connectivity and advanced capabilities to our customers in a wide range of markets. We are excited about the commitment of MAYA-W4 and u-blox as NXP's strategic connectivity partners."
