Such a typical project for Wi-Fi or PON infrastructure has several parts, the preparatory part lasts a year or two before you move to the first installation phase, and then you spend several more years expanding the installations and maintaining them until the project’s lifetime. So it is key to choose the right solution at the beginning. And that is the essence of our work. Selecting and tuning suitable solutions with our partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We enjoy testing and tuning, but this first stage also includes lengthy and demanding certifications CE, FCC, IC, ISO, ROHS, REACH and others, as well as tedious filling out legislative forms regarding the non-use of prohibited and hazardous substances in production – SVHC (substances of very high concern), POP (persistent organic pollutants), Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances – PFAS, LC-PFCAs (Long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids), MCCP (Medium chain chlorinated paraffins), Chlorpyrifos (also known by the trade names Dursban, OMS 0971, Lorsban, Brodan, Killmaster, Pyrinex, Suscon, Coroban, Terial, Danusban, Durmet, and Eradex). There are new recently added fun forms regarding sustainability and carbon footprint. Yes, we can successfully fill that out too. And thanks to this, we helped our partners to obtain several interesting projects using EU subsidies. And even for projects in the USA and Canada, our certifications and forms went through a demanding approval process. Thanks to this, the difficult year 2024 was ultimately quite successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Europe is already quite crowded with Wi-Fi solutions such as hotspots and Wi-Fi connections for passengers and customers. There is probably not a single European country where our Wi-Fi modules have not been used for professional Wi-Fi connection solutions for many years. Our modules are used, for example, in trains and buses all over Europe. Of course, last year we also increased their number and added new projects using Wi-Fi 6. In particular, the Mediatek MT7915 and MT7916 modules have proven themselves for Wi-Fi applications for passengers and customers and, thanks to the new DBDC (dual band dual concurrent) functionality, they have saved implementation costs, as one module can create two independent Wi-Fi networks in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and, newly, in the WiFi6E 6GHz band. These modules offer a very powerful HW AP mode with good signal coverage and support for a large number of simultaneously connected clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our proven 802.11ac WiFi 5 modules with the QCA 9880 \/ 9882 chip have found application in projects even in faraway Asia. In cooperation with a partner, we successfully launched a Wi-Fi project for passengers on trains in Kazakhstan. This project was mainly interesting due to its relatively large scope and duration. That is why we were forced to ensure a stable supply of these good old proven chips until 2028. That was probably the hardest thing \u2013 but we managed to do it too. We can therefore continue to offer the proven 524WiFi 600VX and 900VX pro + modules to all interested parties without any supply restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These reliable and powerful miniPCIe modules are popular for use in drones due to their long range and sensitivity. And so one of the most important orders is now an arms order from the USA. WLE 900VX Wi-Fi modules will help to precisely and reliably control military drones. The installation of the industrial version of the 524WiFi 900VX Pro + into aircraft is still ongoing, and we are also working with a partner from the USA on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you probably know, our modules can be found, for example, in wind farms, in drones, on ships, in both civil, aerobatic and military aircraft … on land, on water and in the air. NASA has also ordered samples, so the next goal is to get into space! And we worked on that in 2024. Newly, in cooperation with SpaceX, they are currently testing our Mediatek WiFi 6 and 6E modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several projects with Smart city applications, Smart industrial control or AI powered industrial solutions are in the early stages of implementation. Many of them require powerful real time streaming, so we help our partners with the selection and testing of Wi-Fi 6E modules with the Qualcomm QCN 9074 chip. We are also now finalizing support for WiFi 7 modules QCN 9274, the use of which has so far been limited to the QCA IPQ processor platform. We will soon publish how to do it in Linux systems with open source ath12k drivers. So that is our task for the beginning of 2025. We know that the x86 platform with the Linux system or OpenWRT are the most important for our customers for the development of their applications. The OpenWiFi project is also very interesting, we started working with this platform last year and our new HW supports OpenWiFi firmware! You can read more in the individual articles on our blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy New Year 2025 and all the best from the 524WiFi team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
