U-blox has introduced automotive-grade Wi-Fi 7 modules, designed to enhance in-vehicle user experience, especially for infotainment and telematics systems. Wi-Fi 7 is expected to become increasingly important in the coming years. It offers increased speeds and lower delays and has the ability to handle more devices at once with any delay.
u-blox's RUBY-W2 Module promises better performance as it allows easy Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates, ensuring the vehicle system stays updated. It also improves the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto experience to ensure seamless Wi-Fi connections between smartphones and vehicles in the build system. Modules work on two frequency bands (5 GHz and 6 GHz), which is perfect for high-demand tasks like streaming and data transfer. And supports multiple passenger screens and function without any delays.
In addition to Wi-Fi 7, the module also includes Bluetooth 5.4 for high-quality, energy-efficient audio streaming. This will improve in-vehicle connectivity, enabling enhanced performance for a wide range of automotive applications. The u-blox RUBY-W2 Module is designed to be compatible with a variety of vehicle systems and comes in a compact (23x23 mm or 23x25 mm) size.
