Even in high-density device cluster scenarios, it maintains exceptionally high network availability and transmission efficiency.
Bluetooth 6.0 Dual-Mode Ultra-Low Power Interaction
Compared to mainstream Bluetooth 5.4 modules on the market, the MAYA-W386-00B has been upgraded to feature Bluetooth 6.0 dual-mode protocol, supporting both Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It introduces BLE Audio for low-power audio transmission, catering to the needs of scenarios such as high-speed data pass-through, low-power device pairing and high-definition audio transmission. Bluetooth 6.0 delivers comprehensive upgrades in power consumption control, connection stability and interference resistance, effectively reducing the standby and operational power consumption of IoT terminals, extending device battery life, whilst simultaneously improving pairing speed and connection fault tolerance between devices.
The module incorporates a mature RF coexistence management mechanism, which effectively resolves signal interference issues when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operate simultaneously. The two protocols run in parallel without conflict, ensuring device stability during multi-task communication.
Industrial-Grade Hardware Specifications
The MAYA-W386-00B is designed for embedded applications in IoT terminals, with hardware specifications tailored to the industry’s essential requirements: it utilises a compact industrial-grade package and offers multiple antenna adaptation solutions—including an on-board PCB antenna, a U.FL antenna interface, and antenna pins—to accommodate the structural design needs of various devices; The operating voltage is stable at 3.0V–3.6V, compatible with the power supply systems of the vast majority of embedded controllers; it features wide-temperature operation capability, enabling stable performance in complex industrial and outdoor environments, with excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference and temperature drift, meeting the high reliability requirements of the Industrial Internet of Things.
III. Core Differentiating Advantages of the Product
Tri-band networking with maximum interference resistance
Traditional IoT wireless devices largely rely on the 2.4GHz band, which suffers from issues such as device congestion, signal overlap, transmission stuttering and high packet loss rates. The MAYA-W386-00B introduces the 5GHz and 6GHz dual high-frequency, interference-free bands. The 6GHz band is free from interference by legacy devices, offering greater bandwidth and lower latency.
