u-blox MAYA-W3 Wi-Fi 6/6E & BLUETOOTH® 5.4 Modules
u-blox MAYA-W3 Wi-Fi 6/6E and BLUETOOTH® 5.4 Modules are host-based modules designed, built, and tested to meet the high reliability and quality requirements of various industrial applications. These applications include smart manufacturing, tracking and telematics, building automation, professional appliances, healthcare, and EV charging infrastructures. MAYA-W3 modules provide SISO Wi-Fi 6/6E operation with 20MHz channel width, improved network availability in dense Wi-Fi environments, and MU-MIMO. The modules can serve as an access point, a station, a P2P connection, or a combination of these. MAYA-W3 supports BLUETOOTH® Low Energy 5.4, including using isochronous channels for LE Audio.
At 10.4mm x 14.3mm, the compact MAYA-W3 offers robust connectivity options, low power consumption, and enhanced data rates. All u-blox modules undergo extensive qualification tests to ensure reliability over the lifetime, and each module is thoroughly tested before leaving the assembly line. The MAYA-W3 series is based on the CYW5551/2/3 chips from Infineon.
