iWave Systems Technologies, an Indian-based hardware design firm, has selected the u‑blox JODY-W2 multi-radio module for its powerful i.MX8 system-on-module (SOM) and single-board computer (SBC) designs.
The i.MX8 SOM and SBC solutions are highly integrated computing platforms that are designed for multimedia-focused applications. They boast extensive computing power delivered by a dual cortex A72, quad cortex A53 cores, dual graphical processing unit (GPU) systems, and a 4K H.265 capable video processing unit (VPU). To meet the diverse and demanding needs in terms of wireless connectivity, the i.MX8 solutions feature a u‑blox JODY-W2 host-based multi-radio module, capable of concurrently (or separately) delivering IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.
JODY-W2 was the industrial-grade Wi-Fi 5 module iWave was looking for to increase the technological longevity of its product line. Pin-to-pin compatibility with other members of the JODY-W series enabled iWave to seamlessly upgrade its products to continually deliver state-of-the-art Wi-Fi connectivity. iWave has recognized the power and flexibility that the JODY-W series gives them to develop SOMs and SBCs for different tiers and technologies with drop-in compatibility across the JODY form factor.
iWave’s i.MX8 QuadMax SMARC system-on-module computing platform will go into production in October 2020.
