The GW16146 is a low-power, long-range, 900MHz 802.11ah HaLow WiFi Mini-PCIe radio designed to provide Wi-Fi HaLow wireless communication utilizing Gateworks Single Board Computers. The 802.11ah radio is targeted towards Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The GW16146 features a Silex SX-NEWAH 802.11ah module that is powered by the NRC7292 System-on-Chip from Newracom. The radio operates in the 900MHz license-exempt band which allows it to penetrate buildings, walls and foliage much better than standard 2.4G/5G WiFi radios. Additionally, 802.11ah provides a much greater range (1km+) and higher bandwidth (up to 4Mbps) over other Sub 1GHz protocols like LoRa and Sigfox. Other advantages include a higher client count (1000+) and lower power. Standard WiFi IP connectivity software, including Linux tools, commands, and interfaces is also supported allowing for quick application integration.

An onboard FTDI SPI to USB bridge allows a Gateworks Single Board Computer to communicate to the module using USB 2.0 signaling which is supported on many Mini-PCIe connector interfaces. A MHF-1/u.FL antenna connector allows for a variety of external antenna choices. Antenna and cables are sold separately. Recommended antennas are listed at the GW16146 Suggested Antennas. Visit the GW16146 Software Wiki for software information related to our HaLow WiFi Mini-PCIe Card.

*Disclaimer: This HaLow WiFi Mini-PCIe Card has only been tested on Gateworks Single Board Computers. Gateworks only provides support when used on a Gateworks SBC.
