u-blox JODY-W3 Host-Based Modules are automotive and professional-grade modules offered with Wi-Fi® 6 and BLUETOOTH® 5.1. The devices are designed for advanced in-car infotainment and connectivity systems. The JODY-W3 Modules use advanced Wi-Fi 802.11ax technology to deliver high data rates for Wi-Fi. The JODY-W3 operates in concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and 5GHz, dual-MAC, and in 2×2 MIMO. The device supports Bluetooth 5.1 BR/EDR and LE features, including a 2Mbit/s (PHY) data rate, extended advertising, and long-range.
The u-blox JODY-W3 Host-Based Modules utilize the AEC-Q100-qualified NXP Q9098 chip, which undergoes extended automotive qualification according to AEC-Q104 and are manufactured in line with ISO/TS 16949. The host-based modules require a host processor running a Linux or Android operating system. In addition, they connect to the host processor through various interfaces, such as PCIe or SDIO for Wi-Fi, high-speed UART for Bluetooth, and PCM or I2S for Bluetooth audio.
