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.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

WNFQ-268AXI(BT) designed\u00a0with\u00a02 spatial streams (2T2R, or 2\u00d72) in MU-MIMO mode. With a standard M.2\u00a0E 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.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
