WNFQ-268AXI(BT), first Qualcomm based WiFi-6 (802.11ax) module in M.2 2230 E key formfactor, running PCIe (Wifi) and USB (BT), supports TBDC (Tri-band, Dual-concurrent) mode, but with Tri-band capability (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz). WNFQ-268AXI(BT) is able to concurrently run 2.4GHz with 5GHz, or 6GHz, and support full IEEE802.11 ax/ac/a/b/g/n protocol, up to 160MHz mode.
WNFQ-268AXI(BT) designed with 2 spatial streams (2T2R, or 2×2) in MU-MIMO mode. With a standard M.2 E key 2230 formfactor, WNFQ-268AXI(BT) can accommodate to all existing platform that has M.2 Adaptor pre-integrated, no extra work with platform design.
Utilizing Qualcomm WCN6856 chipset, software wise WNFQ-268AXI(BT) support Windows, with Linux (Open Source) . The module is capable to run on both x86 platform and ARM based platform, and supports STA mode and Soft AP Mode*, recommend to run on application includes: digital signage/POS, rugged computer / tablets, fan-less automation PC and other industrial environment applications that requires high speed data transmission.
Applications include IPC/ Advertising machine/ OTT/ IPTV/ DVB/ STB / DV/ Mini Driving Recorder/ Intelligent Projector Pico/ VR/ AR terminal/ POS machine/ Vehicle mounted front/ Rear Terminal UAV/ Robot/ Intelligent Gateway/ Smart city and other electronic products.
