performance Wi‑Fi 6compatible module designed for embedded and hostcontrolled systems Key benefits Broad frequency support: Operates across the 2.4 GHz band (2.4–2.4835 GHz) or the 5 GHz band (5.15–5.85 GHz), enabling flexible deployment where different spectrum allocations are required. Modern and backwardcompatible standards: Compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/ac/ax, so it supports the latest 802.11ax features while remaining interoperable with older Wi‑Fi devices and networks. Simple host integration: Standard SDIO 2.0 and UART interfaces provide reliable, widely supported connection options for embedded controllers, application processors, and development platforms. Measurable performance: Supports 802.11ax operation at 40 MHz using MCS9, delivering up to 229 Mbps throughput for higherbandwidth tasks compared with legacy rates. What it does and why it matters Delivers Wi‑Fi connectivity that leverages 802.11ax improvements where available while maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructure and devices. Provides a clear upgrade path for products that need higher data rates or improved spectral efficiency without replacing host hardware or network equipment. Fits designs that require standard host interfaces (SDIO 2.0 or UART), reducing firmware and hardware integration complexity. Important attributes Function: Wireless network interface supporting IEEE 802.11a/b/g/ac/ax protocols. Frequency: 2.4–2.4835 GHz or 5.15–5.85 GHz operation. Interfaces: SDIO 2.0 and UART for host communication. Performance: 802.11ax 40 MHz MCS9, up to 229 Mbps. Practical applications Embedded IoT gateways and industrial controllers that need reliable Wi‑Fi connectivity and compatibility with both current and legacy wireless networks. Upgrading consumer or commercial devices (handheld terminals, portable scanners, pointof equipment) to higher 802.11ax throughput using standard SDIO or UART connections. Networked sensors and streaming devices that benefit from improved 802.11ax data rates (up to 229 Mbps on 40 MHz MCS9) while retaining interoperability with existing access points. Integration notes Use the SDIO 2.0 or UART interface depending on host capabilities and firmware architecture. Select the appropriate frequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) based on regulatory requirements and local RF environment.
