GW16146 is a low power, long range, 900MHz 802.11ah full size Mini-PCIe Wi-Fi radio designed to provide Wi-Fi HaLow wireless communication utilizing Gateworks single board computers. The 802.11ah radio is targeted towards IoT applications. The GW16146 features a Silex SX-NEWAH 802.11ah module that is powered by the NRC7292 SoC from Newracom. 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 much greater range (1km+) and higher bandwidth (4Mbps) 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. An on-board FTDI SPI to USB bridge allows a Gateworks single board computer to communicate to the module using USB 2.0 signalling.
