The company stocks the industry's widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following solutions for wireless networking applications:
The nRF7002-DK Wi-Fi 6 development kit by Nordic Semiconductor contains everything required to start connectivity applications, all on a single board. The kit supports the development of low-power Wi-Fi 6 applications and enables Wi-Fi 6 features like OFDMA, Beamforming, and Target Wake Time. With Wi-Fi 6, the nRF7002 supports all wireless protocols used in Matter, Bluetooth LE for commissioning, Thread for low-power mesh, and Wi-Fi for high throughput.
The SiWx917 Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth LE 5.4 pro kit from Silicon Labs is created to support the development of wireless IoT devices based on the SiWx917 ultra-low-power SoC. The radio board incorporates an on-chip antenna and an option for a micro u.FL connector for external antennas. The main board contains an onboard J-Link debugger with a Packet Trace Interface and a Virtual COM port, allowing applications in smart homes, retail, medical, and more.
The QPF4257 2GHz Wi-Fi 7 high-power front-end module by Qorvo optimises power consumption for a 5V supply while maximising linear output power and throughput. The device also features a 2.4GHz power amplifier, SP2T, and bypassable LNA in one device for efficient layout and application feedback.
The SX-PCEAX-AP11 Wi-Fi modules by Silex Technology are embedded wireless LAN modules using the Qualcomm QCN9072 chipset. They provide a Wi-Fi access point compatible with 2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz, featuring faster data speeds and lower latency in congested wireless environments. The modules operate at a temperature range of -40C to 85C and a 3.3V supply voltage for access points, gateways, and industrial applications.
