u-blox announced the launch of the MAYA-W4, a cost-efficient 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 MAYA-W4 is set to redefine the landscape of IoT applications in diverse industries, enhancing device connectivity and interoperability. Combining three of the most critical wireless technologies into a compact, power-efficient module, the versatile MAYA-W4 meets the growing demand for reliable and secure connectivity. Whether enabling low-energy mesh networks for smart homes or providing high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for industrial tools, it offers unparalleled flexibility for developers and manufacturers. Its small size and robust design make it ideal for space-constrained applications. The MAYA-W4 addresses the market's need for Wi-Fi 6 solutions, driven by the rapid adoption of Wi-Fi 6 in IoT segments, as highlighted by recent market data from TSR (Techno Systems Research CO. LTD.). It alleviates network congestion, enhances power efficiency, and, with a temperature range of -40degC to +85degC, is suitable for industrial environments. With its entry-level feature set and optimized data throughput, the MAYA-W4 offers cost-efficient connectivity without compromising performance. Samples are available now, with volume production scheduled for the second half of 2025.
