u-blox has announced the professional-grade u-blox MAYA-W1 Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5 multi-radio module. Based on NXP’s IW416 chip, the module is tailored to a wide range of fast-growing, future-oriented applications, such as power management, electric vehicle charging, professional appliances, tracking, telematics and fleet management. Robust, flexible and reliable, MAYA-W1 offers product designers short-range connectivity that is both cost-effective and simple to implement.
Qualified for operation up to 85°C and fitting on a 10 x 14 mm footprint, the MAYA-W1 is ideal for size-constrained applications that operate in harsh industrial environments. The module serves professional and consumer market segments, including energy management, e.g. solar power converters and electric vehicle charging stations. It also delivers connectivity for professional appliances such as connected ovens and laundromats and for industrial applications, enabling industrial automation, predictive maintenance, industrial gateways and human-machine interfaces. Other application areas include connected healthcare, smart homes and retail.
With more and more connected devices competing for Wi-Fi spectrum in the 2,4 GHz band, robust performance in congested environments has become an important differentiator. Featuring Wi-Fi 4 (802.11a/b/g/n) dual-band 1x1 SISO, MAYA-W1 can select Wi-Fi channels from the entire 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum, reliably connecting end devices and access points even when bandwidth is scarce.
Increasing design flexibility was front and centre in the development of the MAYA-W1 module. In addition to offering Wi-Fi 4 and dual-mode Bluetooth (Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth classic) in a single hardware component, pre-integration of the module’s firmware and driver in NXP’s MCUXpresso development environment simplifies product development.
