SX-SDMAC Radio Module

802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Plus Bluetooth SDIO Wi-Fi Module

This Wi-Fi SDIO module is a low-power, single-stream solution with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac support based on the QCA9377 System-on-Chip from Qualcomm Atheros. This module supports Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Client), which increases the overall WLAN system performance by 3X compared to 11n. The module’s small form factor, rich features, and low power make it perfect for portable devices.

Smart-ready SDIO module

The Silex SX-SDMAC is a dual-band IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN plus Bluetooth 5.0 BR/EDR/BLE “Smart Ready” SDIO module based on the latest Qualcomm Atheros Technology. It integrates a QCA9377 SoC with MAC, Baseband, RF, RF front end, and peripheral circuitry. SX-SDMAC operates on a +3.3V main power supply and selectable +1.8V/+3.3V IO power supply.

The SX-SDMAC is a dual Band SDIO Wi-Fi Module with 802.11ac WLAN plus BT 5.0 that supports Wave 2 MU-MIMO with a Link Rate up to 433 Mbps. It is robust and designed to support industrial temperatures.
