JODY-W2 is a compact module based on Marvell 88W8987 AEC-Q100 compliant chipsets. It enables Wi-Fi, Bluetooth EDR, and Bluetooth low energy communications, and is thus ideal for in-vehicle infotainment and telematics, industrial applications such as machine control, and other applications requiring high data rates. The module is built to meet the requirements for operation in very high temperatures, such as telematics systems in cars. JODY-W2 supports 1x1 single-antenna 802.11ac Wi-Fi operation, with data rates up to 433 Mbit/s. A second antenna is dedicated for Bluetooth operation.
JODY-W2 is a host-based module that requires a host processor running a Linux or Android operating system. It connects to a host processor through SDIO (for Wi-Fi), or High-Speed UART (for Bluetooth) interfaces. Support for other operating systems such as QNX will also be available. JODY-W2 undergoes extended automotive qualification according to ISO 16750-4 and is manufactured in line with ISO/TS 16949. Radio type approvals are pending for the US, Europe, and Canada.
