The GW16167 is a low-power, long-range, 900MHz 802.11ah, M.2 2230 E-Key Wi-Fi 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 GW16167 features a Morse Micro MM8108 802.11ah module with up to 26dBm transmit power. 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 Wi-Fi radios. Additionally, 802.11ah provides a much greater range (1km+) and higher bandwidth (up to 43Mbps) over other Sub 1GHz protocols like LoRa and Sigfox. Other advantages include a higher client count (100+) and lower power. Standard Wi-Fi IP connectivity software, including Linux tools, commands and interfaces are also supported allowing for quick application integration.

The radio is a global radio for US and EU operation. The Gateworks Single Board Computer communicates to the module using USB signaling which is supported on M.2 E-Key connector interfaces. Compatible with the Gateworks Venice & VeniceFLEX SBC family and other Gateworks SBCs. A robust MMCX antenna connector allows for a variety of external antenna choices. Antenna and cables are sold separately. Use GW16151 M.2 Adapter for Venice SBCs.

*Disclaimer: This Wi-Fi HaLow M.2 Card has only been tested on Gateworks Single Board Computers. Gateworks only provides support when used on a Gateworks SBC.
