WiFi - Ultra-Low Power & Long-Range Wi-Fi HaLow Module with PA
  • Ultra-Low Power & Long-Range Wi-Fi HaLow Module with PA

  • General Description
     
    BDE-HWF7394PN is an ultra-low power & long-range Wi-Fi module based on IEEE 802.11ah, a new Wi-Fi standard operating in the Sub 1GHz license-exempt band, offering longer range and lower power connectivity necessary for internet of things (IoT) applications.

    The module can operate at frequency range from 860 MHz to 930 MHz for different countries/regions. Refer to Table 1 for different variants targeting at different counties.

    With a dedicated on-board RF front-end module which consists of an PA and RF switch, the module can increase the transmission power up to 26 dBm. It outputs the accurate power for each channel through the temperature sensor integrated in the SoC and calibration at the factory. On-board serial flash can be used for user application program and OTA software update and store MAC address, calibration data and information. It also can support execution in place (XIP) feature with a 16KB internal cache memory.
