Enhanced Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5 connectivity


As the number of wireless products using the 2.4 GHz band increases, engineers are faced with the challenge of ensuring that their products operate smoothly even in congested communication environments.

u-blox announced on the 17th the launch of its professional-grade 'MAYA-W1' Wi-Fi 4/Bluetooth 5 multiradio module. Based on NXP's 'IW416' SoC, the u-blox module supports an operating temperature range of up to 85°C and a footprint of 10×14 mm.

Featuring Wi-Fi 4 (802.11a/b/g/n) dual-band 1x1 SISO, the MAYA-W1 selects Wi-Fi channels across the entire 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands, ensuring stable connections between end devices and access points even when available bandwidth is limited.

The MAYA-W1 module provides dual-band Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth (Classic, Low Energy). NXP's 'MCUXpresso' development environment includes firmware and drivers for the MAYA-W1 module, simplifying product development.

Samples of the u-blox MAYA-W1 module and evaluation kit (EVK) will be available at the end of April.
