Thalwil, Switzerland – February 11, 2016 – u-blox
(SIX:UBXN), a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and
chips, today announced the LILY-W1 single band 802.11n 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
transceiver module. This ultra-compact host-based module, measuring just
10 x 14 mm is suitable for providing Wi-Fi connectivity to an
increasingly broad range of industrial and commercial products with LTE
connectivity.
LILY-W1 simplifies the
integrator’s RF design efforts with an integrated antenna and enables
Wi-Fi in-device co-existence with LTE thanks to a bulk acoustic wave
filter. Suiting today’s space constrained designs, the filter not only
ensures that Wi-Fi performance does not deteriorate in proximity of an
LTE transceiver, but allows the antennas of both transceivers to be
sited close together. The new module also supports Wi-Fi direct.
LILY-W1 connects to the host
processor, either through SDIO or USB, and can operate concurrently in
Client and Micro Access Point modes. Up to 8 clients can attach when
functioning as a Micro Access Point. Royalty free Linux and Android
drivers are provided as standard. With its extended temperature range
from -40 to +85 degrees C, the module suits the growing need for
industrial and commercial equipment to become connected. Typical
applications can include telematics control units, drive recorders or
OBD readers, as well as logistics or point of sales equipment.
