automotive Wi-Fi & Bluetooth module with separation of time-critical RSDB services

u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, today 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.

RSDB enables a separation of time-critical services requiring higher data rates from less critical services. In an infotainment application, the Wi-Fi Screen could independently operate on the 5 GHz band, and the Wi-Fi hotspot on the 2.4 GHz band, improving overall robustness and per-band data rates in comparison to chipsets using time-division multiplexing for dual-band support.
