u-blox MAYA-W4 tri-radio module

u-blox’s MAYA-W4 is a tri-radio module that delivers the latest in wireless connectivity technologies for the mass market. With support for dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 and 802.15.4 (for Thread supporting Matter), the module can be used for IoT applications in diverse industries, enhancing device connectivity and interoperability.

Combining three critical wireless technologies into a compact, power-efficient module, the versatile device meets the growing demand for secure connectivity. Whether enabling low-energy mesh networks for smart homes or providing high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for industrial tools, it offers high levels of flexibility for developers and manufacturers. Its small size and robust design make it suitable for space-constrained applications, while its comprehensive global certifications enable seamless deployment across regions.

The module addresses the market’s need for Wi-Fi 6 solutions, driven by the rapid adoption of Wi-Fi 6 in IoT segments. It alleviates network congestion, enhances power efficiency and, with a temperature range of -40 to +85°C, is suitable for industrial environments. With its entry-level feature set and optimised data throughput, the module offers efficient connectivity without compromising performance. The inclusion of 802.15.4 enables low-power IoT and mesh networking, providing a gateway for the next generation of smart, connected devices.

The module also eases design efforts, enabling manufacturers to scale their device designs for current and future markets. Offering a selection of antenna variants, designers can choose between pin(s) out, embedded antenna or U.FL. connector(s) configuration. By maintaining the same compact dimensions as its predecessors (10 x 14 x 1.9 mm), migration across previous generations is simplified.
