Gateworks announces a new 802.11ah HaLow Mini-PCIe radio for use on the Gateworks Rugged & Industrial SBCs.
Gateworks' GW16146 802.11ah HaLow Mini-PCIe radio uses the Silex SX-NEWAH module, which is based on the Newracom NRC7292 SoC.
802.11ah, often called Wi-Fi HaLow, is a new standard that uses sub-1GHz frequencies to provide longer range at a lower power consumption. It can support thousands of clients with WPA-3 security. By utilizing standard TCP/IP framework, no special code or SDKs are required. With everything being open source and unlicensed, costly consortium memberships are also not needed.
