WNFQ-291BEI, first Qualcomm based WiFi-7 (802.11be) module in M.2 2230 E key formfactor, running PCIe (Wifi) and USB, supports DBDC (Dual-band, Dual-concurrent) mode, but with Tri-band capability (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz). WNFQ-291BEI is able to concurrently run 2.4GHz with 5GHz, or 6GHz, and support full IEEE802.11 be/ax/ac/a/b/g/n protocol, up to 320MHz mode.

WNFQ-291BEI designed with 2 spatial streams (2T2R, or 2×2) in MU-MIMO mode. With a standard M.2 E key 2230 formfactor, WNFQ-291BEI can accommodate to all existing platform that has M.2 Adaptor pre-integrated, no extra work with platform design.

Software wise WNFQ-291BEI support Windows, with Linux (Open Source) in the near future. 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, fanless 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.
