Mingjiada Supply u-blox Multiradio Module Evaluation Kit, Supply NINA-W And MAYA-W Series, GNSS And Cellular Communications Evaluation Kit

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. — Long-term supplier of [u-blox] multi-radio module evaluation kits, covering: NINA-W Series standalone multi-radio evaluation kits, MAYA-W Series evaluation kits, GNSS evaluation kits, cellular communication evaluation kits, and other products. Mingjiada Electronics maintains stock coverage of mainstream models, supporting both small-batch samples and large-volume orders. Leveraging an efficient logistics system, we ensure rapid product delivery.

I. NINA-W Series: Standalone Multi-Radio Solutions
The NINA-W series comprises evaluation kits designed by u-blox for highly integrated standalone applications. The core NINA-W15 module within these kits comes pre-programmed with u-blox connectivity software, significantly reducing end-product development time.
Taking the EVK-NINA-W15 series as an example, this range comprises multiple variants differing primarily in antenna configuration and software stack:
EVK-NINA-W151: Features a U.FL connector supporting external antennas
EVK-NINA-W152: Incorporates an internal antenna with the Connectivity software stack, ideal for new designs
EVK-NINA-W156: Features an internal antenna and utilises the u-connect software stack
These evaluation boards are compatible with Arduino Uno expansion boards. All module pins are accessible via connectors or jumpers, greatly facilitating prototype development. They also support firmware updates via USB and can be powered through USB or an external power supply.

II. MAYA-W Series: Flexible Solutions for External Main Processors
Unlike the standalone NINA-W series, the MAYA-W series evaluation kits are specifically designed for applications requiring an external main processor. Such designs are common in complex devices demanding substantial processing power.
The EVK-MAYA-W476 exemplifies this series, enabling external main processors to access multiple practical functions for testing and evaluating the connectivity options supported by the MAYA-W476 module.
A key feature of this kit is its extensive external interfaces, including external connectors or pin headers for GPIO and all host interfaces. The kit contents are also comprehensive, encompassing a dual-band SMA dipole antenna, SD, Micro-SD and M.2 adapters, along with cables.

III. Positioning and Communications: GNSS and Cellular Series
Beyond short-range wireless technologies, u-blox also provides specialised positioning and cellular communication evaluation solutions.
GNSS evaluation kits such as the EVK-M8U-0 support multi-constellation positioning (BeiDou, GLONASS, GPS) for evaluating u-blox's M8 series GNSS modules. The EVK-M8C-0 is specifically designed for the MAX-M8C and NEO-M8M modules.
Cellular communication evaluation kits address core connectivity requirements for the Internet of Things. The SARA-R5 series evaluation kits support multi-band LTE-M/NB-IoT cellular radio access alongside GNSS technology, specifically engineered for low-power wide-area network applications.
This series comprises multiple models:
- EVK-R500S for evaluating the SARA-R500S module; EVK-R510S for the SARA-R510S module; EVK-R510M8S for the SARA-R510M8S module. These kits are designed for simplicity and ease of use, providing straightforward access to the pins and features of SARA-R5 series modules.
