The WPEQ-276AX from SparkLAN is an 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E Module that operates in the 6 GHz band from 5.925 to 7.125 GHz. This module is based on Qualcomm Atheros QCN9072 chipset with support for 2T2R (2×2) MU-MIMO and delivers a data rate of up to 2.4 Gbps (160 MHz bandwidth). It supports various features in the PHY layer such as dual spatial streams, digital modulation, M-ary QAM (M from 16 to 4096) modulation schemes, and OFDMA technology. The module provides greater versatility for use in common wireless design architectures and is a perfect solution for various AP and STA applications.
The WPEQ-276AX is designed to shrink the traditional M.2 E-key design to a more popular Mini PCIe form factor. It uses a PCIe interface to communicate with external MCU and driver units and can be configured using standard Linux OS. This wireless module also offers standard security for protection such as 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3, and 802.1x. It requires a DC supply of 3.3 V, consumes less than 1288 mA of current in Tx mode, and less than 965 mA of current in Rx mode. The module is available in a package that measures 50.80 x 29.85 x 9.30 mm with IPEX MHF1 antenna connectors and is ideal for access points, routers, and multimedia applications.
