The GW16159 is a low power, long range, 900MHz 802.11ah full-size M.2 WiFi 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 GW16159 features a Silex SX-SDMAH 802.11ah module that is powered by the MM6108 System-on-Chip from Morse Micro.
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 32.5Mbps) over other Sub 1GHz protocols like LoRa and Sigfox. Other advantages include a higher client count (100+) and lower power. Standard WiFi IP connectivity software, including Linux tools, commands and interfaces are also supported allowing for quick application integration. The Gateworks Single Board Computer communicates to the module using SDIO signaling which is supported on M.2 E-Key connector interfaces. An MHF-1 antenna connector allows for a variety of external antenna choices. Antenna and cables are sold separately.
*Disclaimer: This HaLow WiFi Mini-PCIe Card has only been tested on Gateworks VeniceFLEX Single Board Computers. Gateworks only provides support when used on a VeniceFLEX Gateworks SBC. Please note, not compatible with Venice SBCs, even when using the M.2 adapter. SDIO interface is only supported on VeniceFLEX.
