A Wi-Fi 6 board is not a product yet. Outdoor wireless solution – DR5018S Wi-Fi 6 platform

A Wi-Fi 6 board is not a product yet.

It is the starting point.

For an outdoor wireless product, the hard part often begins after the PCBA:
→ Enclosure design
→ Thermal management
→ Antenna matching
→ PoE integration
→ Environmental validation
→ Software and network management
→ Final system testing
That can mean months of engineering work before the first field deployment.

So what if you could start much further down the road?

Meet the DRWave-1000.
Built around the proven DR5018S Wi-Fi 6 platform, DRWave-1000 combines the wireless board, outdoor enclosure, antenna integration and power design into a complete outdoor wireless platform.
Designed for:
• PTP / PTMP wireless links
• Outdoor access points
• Industrial wireless networks
• Customized OEM/ODM products
Key specifications:
• Qualcomm-based Wi-Fi 6 platform
• Up to 2402 Mbps PHY rate
• 20 / 40 / 80 / 160 MHz channel widths
• IP66 outdoor protection
• -40°C to +70°C operating temperature
• 802.3at/bt Active PoE + 48V Passive PoE
• SNMP support
• Wallys AP Controller management


But the bigger point is not the spec sheet.

You don’t have to start from a blank sheet.
Start with a proven wireless core.
Then customize the product around your application — including enclosure, antennas, software, branding and deployment requirements.
One platform.
One engineering partner.
More room to build your own product.


If you are working on a PTP/PTMP radio, outdoor AP, industrial wireless system or private-label wireless product, let’s compare your requirements with DRWave-1000.
