The MAYA-W2 is capable of supporting Bluetooth classic, Low Power 5.2 and Bluetooth LE audio. The datasheet for the device mentions the operation modes for the MAYA-W2 include access point, Wi-Fi direct, station or any combinations between these three.  They are also available in a M.2 type 2230 Key E form factor which allows it to be compatible with other NXP i.MX eval boards.
