u-blox MAYA-W2 Host-Based IoT Modules

u-blox MAYA-W2 Host-Based IoT Modules are designed, built, and tested to meet the high reliability and quality requirements of a wide range of industrial applications, such as smart manufacturing, tracking/telematics, building automation, professional appliances, healthcare, and EV charging infrastructures. MAYA-W2 modules provide SISO Wi-Fi® 6 operation with up to 600Mbit/s data throughput, improved performance in dense Wi-Fi environments, and MU-MIMO. Using 20MHz, 40MHz, or 80MHz channels, the modules can work as access points, stations, in P2P connections, or any combination of these. MAYA-W2 supports the complete feature set of BLUETOOTH® Low Energy 5.2, including the use of isochronous channels for LE Audio. MAYA-W271 provides 802.15.4 radio, as used by Thread and Zigbee®.

Measuring 10.4mm x 14.3mm, MAYA-W2 are compact Wi-Fi 6 dual-band SMD modules that undergo extensive qualification tests to ensure reliability over their lifetime. Each module is fully tested before leaving the assembly line. MAYA-W2 Host-Based IoT Modules are based on the NXP IW611/IW612 chips, which provide OS driver integration in application host BSPs and SDK support for NXP MCUs.
