The GW16170 is a high-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 GW16170 features a Morse Micro MM8108-M20-US 802.11ah module with up to 28.5dBm 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 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. SDIO & SPI interfaces are optional for high volume custom designs.
*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.
