How to Design a Reliable Long-Range Wireless Link for Agricultural Drones (WiFi 6/7 Selection Guide)
If you’ve deployed drones for crop spraying, field mapping, or orchard inspection over any real distance, you’ve probably run into this: the link holds fine at 200 meters, then starts dropping commands or breaking up video well before you hit the range the datasheet promised. It’s rarely a bad chip. It’s almost always an architecture…
Do you need original QCA Linux DBDC driver for Sparklan WNFQ or WPEQ 268AXI WiFi6 module? Or is better to use open source Ath11k driver ?
Let us share our experience with Qualcomm Atheros WCN6856 based Wi-Fi 6 Triband modules from Sparklan. These WiFi6 modules are very popular. Many professional customers are requesting testing samples and want to use them for their projects. Open Source Linux ath11k driver is available, works but has limitations. If the customer needs DBS, they will…
Why Controller-Based Industrial WiFi Is Breaking in Real Deployments
Most industrial WiFi networks are still built on a controller-based architecture. And in controlled lab environments, it works. But in real industrial deployments, the story is very different. Factories, mines, ports, and warehouses are not static environments. They are dynamic, noisy, and constantly changing systems. And that’s exactly where controller-based WiFi starts to fail. The…
