u-blox, a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, announced the launch of JODY-W1, a host-based automotive-grade module. The new module enables real simultaneous dual band (RSDB) operation for faster, concurrent Wi-Fi connectivity on the 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless bands.
As it also supports both dual-band Wi-Fi with 2×2 MIMO 802.11ac and dual-mode Bluetooth (Bluetooth/Bluetooth low energy) 4.2, JODY-W1 is ideal for in-vehicle-infotainment and telematics applications requiring high data rates and concurrent connectivity, such as in-car hotspots, Wi-Fi screens (e. g. Apple CarPlay) or video streaming across multiple clients.
“Thanks to RSDB support, JODY-W1 offers best-in-class performance when operating as an access point, station, or in P2P mode on different bands in parallel. Combined with excellent Bluetooth and Wi-Fi co-existence, it is the ideal choice for applications with concurrent use-cases,” says Kilian Frank, Product Strategy, Short Range Radio Product Center at u-blox.”
Fully tested engineering samples will be available in Q2 2017
