Silex Technology SX-PCEAX Wi-Fi® 6E Modules

Silex Technology SX-PCEAX Wi-Fi® 6E Modules are tri-band IEEE 802.11 abgn/ac/ax WLAN module plus BLUETOOTH® 5.2 BR/EDR/LE combo module based on Qualcomm QCA2066 System-on-Chip (SoC). These modules are designed to provide benefits in 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to 6GHz and provide an increase in capacity and performance. The SX-PCEAX modules are available in surface mount form factor, M.2 PCI Express card, and half mini card form factors. These modules feature 7 super-wide 160MHz channels, low latency, less congestion, Target Wake Time (TWT) for improved battery life, and transmit beamforming. The SX-PCEAX modules operate at 3.3V input voltage, -20°C to 65°C temperature range, and 2 MHF4 antenna connectors.
