# SX-NEWAH Evaluation

**Industry’s First 802.11ah Wi-Fi Solution for IoT Devices**

Powered by NRC7292 System-on-Chip from Newracom, [SX-NEWAH](https://www.silextechnology.com/connectivity-solutions/embedded-wireless/sx-newah?hsLang=en-us) is industry’s first IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi module that operates in the Sub 1GHz license-exempt band. It offers a much greater range upto 1.5 km over 2.4GHz and 5GHz technologies. The SX-NEWAH-EVK mounted with the SX-NEWAH module is designed to allow easy evaluation of the 802.11ah radio using the Raspberry Pi reference platform.

We also offer evaluation image that includes the Silex reference radio driver, supplicant and tools to test the following.

- Basic Wireless Functionality
- Wi-Fi Security
- Data Throughput
- Station & Access Point Mode
- DHCP Server and Client
