The u-blox MAYA-W4 combines Wi-Fi® 6, Bluetooth® LE 5.4 and 802.15.4 for dependable, ubiquitous and safe connectivity for the IoT ecosystem.
u-blox, a worldwide chief in wi-fi and positioning applied sciences, broadcasts the launch of the MAYA-W4, a cost-efficient tri-radio module that delivers the most recent in wi-fi connectivity applied sciences for the mass market.
With assist for dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Vitality 5.4, and 802.15.4 (for Thread supporting Matter), the MAYA-W4 is ready to redefine the panorama of IoT functions in numerous industries, enhancing machine connectivity and interoperability.
Combining three of probably the most crucial wi-fi applied sciences right into a compact, power-efficient module, the versatile MAYA-W4 meets the rising demand for dependable and safe connectivity. Whether or not enabling low-energy mesh networks for sensible houses or offering high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for industrial instruments, the MAYA-W4 affords unparalleled flexibility for builders and producers. Its small measurement and strong design make it supreme for space-constrained functions, whereas its complete international certifications guarantee seamless deployment throughout areas.
The MAYA-W4 addresses the market’s want for Wi-Fi 6 options, pushed by the fast adoption of Wi-Fi 6 in IoT segments, as highlighted by latest market information from TSR* (Techno Techniques Analysis CO. LTD.). It alleviates community congestion, enhances energy effectivity, and, with a temperature vary of -40°C to +85°C, is appropriate for industrial environments. With its entry-level characteristic set and optimized information throughput, the MAYA-W4 affords cost-efficient connectivity with out compromising efficiency. The inclusion of 802.15.4 permits low-power IoT and mesh networking, offering a gateway for the following technology of sensible, linked units.
The brand new module additionally eases design efforts, enabling producers to scale their machine designs for present and future markets. Providing a collection of antenna variants, designers can select between pin(s) out, embedded antenna, or U.FL. connector(s) configuration. By sustaining the identical compact dimensions as its predecessors (10 x 14 x 1.9 mm), u-blox simplifies migration throughout earlier generations.
Larry Olivas, Vice President and Common Supervisor, Wi-fi Connectivity Options at NXP, says:
“The u-blox tri-radio MAYA-W4 module integrates our newly announced NXP® Semiconductors IW610 chipset to deliver the latest wireless connectivity technologies to additional segments such as industrial, medical, and consumer.”
“As a Gold Partner and part of our broader market strategy, u-blox is instrumental in making robust connectivity and an advanced feature set available to our broad market customers. We are excited about the MAYA-W4 and u-blox’s commitment to NXP as a strategic connectivity partner.”
Samples can be found now, with quantity manufacturing scheduled for the second half of 2025.
