u-blox has introduced the all-new MAYA-W4 tri-radio module, designed to provide cutting-edge wireless connectivity solutions for a wide range of applications.
This innovative module supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4, and 802.15.4 (Thread supporting Matter), making it a versatile choice for various IoT scenarios across industries. By combining these essential wireless technologies into a single compact module, u-blox aims to enhance device connectivity and interoperability in the IoT space.
With its compact size and power-efficient design, the MAYA-W4 is well-suited for applications requiring reliable and secure connectivity. Whether it’s enabling low-energy mesh networks in smart homes or delivering high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for industrial tools, this module offers unmatched flexibility for developers and manufacturers alike.
One of the key highlights of the MAYA-W4 is its ability to address the increasing demand for Wi-Fi 6 solutions in the IoT sector. As per recent market data from TSR*, the adoption of Wi-Fi 6 in IoT segments is rapidly growing, making the MAYA-W4 a timely and valuable addition to the market. It not only improves network efficiency and power consumption but also operates effectively in a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for industrial environments.
Furthermore, the module simplifies design efforts for manufacturers by offering a range of antenna variants and configuration options. Whether it’s pin(s) out, embedded antenna, or U.FL. connector(s), designers have the flexibility to choose the best option for their specific requirements. Additionally, the compact dimensions of the MAYA-W4 ensure seamless migration for devices built on previous generations of u-blox modules.
For those interested in exploring the capabilities of the MAYA-W4, samples are currently available, with volume production scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025.
