Wi-Fi6 Radio Module in Mini-PCIe Form Factor
Expanded Wi-Fi6 Product Portfolio
8DEVICES offers Wi-Fi6 PCIe radio modules for AP, router and gateway solutions since 2020. These modules are very well known in the market under the name Pineapple and available as LGA or PCIe plug-in cards. Due to the high popularity and the increasing demand of small formfactor modules, the Wi-Fi6 product portfolio has been expanded this year with mini-PCIe modules.
SUPPORTMiniPini25 Available in Commercial and Industrial Temperature Range
MiniPini25 is the name of the new module family, and already the first syllable "Mini" indicates that it is a miniaturisation of the existing module generation. In addition to the new form factor (50.95x30mm), the new modules also offer Dual Band Selectable, i.e. they can be operated either on 2.4GHz or 5GHz, hence the name MiniPini25. For comparison, Pineapple always supports only one band: 2.4GHz (Pineapple2), 5GHz (Pineapple5) or 6GHz (Pineapple6). The miniaturisation and dual band capability entail the compromise that the maximum output power is limited to 20dBm (per chain). For applications that require a high output power of up to 28dBm, the Pineapple family therefore continues to have its raison d'être within the Wi-Fi6 product portfolio.
MiniPini25 are offered with four or two antennas. With the two antenna solution (2x2), the smaller version QCN-9072 from QUALCOMM is integrated instead of QCN-9074 (4x4) and accordingly only two instead of four front ends are realised.
Just like Pineapple, the MiniPini25 are also offered in commercial and industrial temperature range, the latter being indicated by an -I (MiniPini25-I) in the name. Of course, all modules are certified according to CE, FCC and IC.
