MU-MIMO WiFi 6 module for the 6GHz band, Mini PCIe Module, Qualcomm Atheros QCN9072, 2T2R

Product Overview

The first WiFi-6E (802.11ax) Qualcomm based AP solution on module formfactor from SparkLAN. WPEQ-276AX, is based on QCN9072 chipset solution. This is a true enterprise based wireless module that powers 2T2R (2×2) MU-MIMO, in 6Ghz Single band mode, hitting a theoretical speed of up to 2.4Gbps with 160MHz support.

Unlike typical Qualcomm reference design around QCN9072, WPEQ-276AX shrink the traditional 50mmx50mm M.2 E-Key design to a more popular Mini PCIe Full size formfactor of just 50mm x 30mm, run at 3.3V voltage. Provides a greater versatility to use on more common seen design.

WPEQ-276AX performs both AP and STA functionality with 2 spatial streams, recommended more towards hardware AP applications as it supports 4096-QAM, OFDMA technology, makes it perfect for heavy lifting applications such as Enterprise grade AP, UTM, public & transportation Hotspot, and other industrial capable Access Points.

Suitable Application

Applications include Multimedia Router and AP solution., etc.
