Silex Adds Dual Band Functionality to its 802.11ac PCIe Card

Silex has recently added dual band functionality to its 802.11ac PCIe Wi-Fi card. The SX-PCEAC-DB is now an 802.11ac compliant dual-band 3x3 PCIe Mini Card. It is based on the Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 chipset, designed to deliver wireless data rates of up to 1.3Gbps. It targets home and enterprise wireless access points, offering reliable wireless performance for a variety of bandwidth-intensive video-over-wireless applications.

SX-PCEAC-DB card gives customers the ability to easily and reliably support applications where this extra bandwidth and performance is required, like deploying HD video over Wi-Fi. Applications include commercial AP, routers, gateways, large-size printers, video devices, medical devices etc.

The SX-PCEAC-DB coupled with Silex's propriety driver based on QCA’s LSDK 10.2-00082-4 is designed for those devices that “Absolutely Must Connect”. We start with the Qualcomm Atheros reference driver and go through a rigourous process to test, evaluate, fix and enhance before releasing as a Silex Technology driver. Our Design Verification Testing (DVT) know-how has been established from our long history as a networking product provider. We have internally established a DVT test plan that goes far beyond a simple AP-client connect test or range performance test but includes complex multi-parameter testing and AP roaming tests simulating common use case scenarios.
