MAYA-W2 has advanced communication functions, so that your product design is not afraid of future challenges. Wi-Fi 6, or 802.11ax, offers better network efficiency (especially in areas with congested channels), lower latency, and greater coverage than previous-generation Wi-Fi standards. In addition, Thread provides support for low-power, IP-based mesh networks commonly used in home automation.
MAYA-W2's dual-mode Bluetooth supports both regular Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE, including Bluetooth LE audio. With this new audio feature, devices can send and receive multiple different audio streams simultaneously, and broadcast audio streams to multiple users.
Help products go to market quickly
MAYA-W2 provides all necessary Linux, Android and FreeRTOS software drivers in open source form, FreeRTOS software drivers are pre-integrated into the MCUXpresso Software Development Kit (SDK), while Android and Linux software drivers are pre-integrated into NXP i. in the Board Support Kit (BSP) for the MX applications processor. This will improve product development efficiency, simplify software integration and testing, and reduce time-to-market.
Since the MAYA-W2 is seamlessly compatible with the MAYA-W1 Wi-Fi 4 module, product developers can easily upgrade the device from Wi-Fi 4 to Wi-Fi 6 without redesigning to meet multiple performance requirements. Product family development needs.
The MAYA-W2 industrial grade module operates from -40 °C to 85 °C, has four models and three optional antennas, including antenna pins, U.FL connectors or PCB antennas, suitable for all kinds of IoT equipment.
Product developers can fully evaluate product performance using dedicated evaluation kits (EVKs) and M.2 cards that interface seamlessly with host technology platforms, including NXP's new family of i.MX development boards.
"NXP's recently released IW612 is the industry's first "three-in-one" IoT wireless chip that enables seamless and secure communication in smart home and industrial application scenarios, and can well meet different requirements including the new Matter protocol. The needs of the ecosystem. As a Gold Partner of NXP, u-blox is the first to use this innovative solution in its new MAYA-W2 module, which will help accelerate the development of commercial end products and bring higher robustness secure, reliable and secure communications.” – Tom Eichenberg, Senior Marketing Director, Communications Technology, NXP® Semiconductors
For a wide range of applications
The MAYA-W2 is one of the first modules to offer advanced Wi-Fi 6 technology for industrial IoT applications, suitable for solar inverters, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as well as medical services, smart buildings, smart homes (including Matter Protocol) and Wireless hub and gateway devices in smart factories, but also professional equipment, asset and fleet management, and retail solutions. In addition, Bluetooth LE's new audio streaming capabilities provide further support for many applications, including hearing aids.
In the process of cooperating with customers, we noticed that customers have clear requirements for the performance and security of Wi-Fi technology, and Wi-Fi 4 cannot meet the increasingly comprehensive needs. MAYA-W2 greatly improves Wi-Fi performance, especially in crowded networks, and also supports Bluetooth LE 5.2 and Thread, such a "three-in-one" - Sebastian Schreiber, u-blox Product Manager. Short-range communication capabilities make it ideal for gateways and bridges in low-power IoT and mesh networks.
