u-blox JODY-W6 dual-band Wi-Fi 6E module

u-blox has launched JODY-W6, a concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi 6E module with Bluetooth 5.3, including LE Audio, in a compact size (13.8 x 19.8 x 2.5 mm). The module targets automotive use cases in infotainment and navigation, advanced telematics and OEM telematics.

Not only does the module deliver the benefits of Wi-Fi 6E but it also features dual-mode Bluetooth with LE Audio. JODY-W6 is globally certified and can withstand operating temperatures from -40 to 105°C.

The module is available with either two or three antennas. Upon request, it can also integrate an LTE filter. An EVK and an M.2 card will be available for the JODY-W6 series. Furthermore, it is also compatible with previous JODY modules for scalability.

The u-blox JODY-W6 also comes equipped with an embedded NXP Semiconductors AW693 chipset.

The AW693 SoC (system-on-chip) embedded in the automotive JODY-W6 SoM (system-on-module) leverages concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth LE audio technologies to unlock new opportunities for a range of use cases and businesses in the automotive domain. The AW693 chipset also includes a range of features, such as MU-MIMO, OFDMA and target wake time (TWT).
