Wi2Wi Announces WM826C00, Best In Class 802.11ac/a/b/g/n Module Addressing the Low Power and High Performance WLAN Requirements of the IoT and M2M Markets

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 24, 2016 / Wi2Wi Corporation (Wi2Wi or the Company) (TSX V: YTY.V), a leading global developer and manufacturer of wireless connectivity solutions, high precision frequency control, timing, and microwave filter devices, is pleased to announce a Low Power High Performance module WM826C00 in its maximum performance (MX) series of products.

This Very High Throughput (VHT) 802.11ac 1×1 module incorporates MAC, baseband, crystals, filter, Power Amplifier (PA), Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and RF switch, providing the industry’s highest level of RF front end integration which allows for a cost-efficient solution with a significantly smaller footprint and reduced design complexity compared to existing available solutions. With Transmit Beamforming technology and Low-density parity check (LDPC), this module provides unparalleled WLAN performance with up to 433 Mbps. It supports advanced power management features to optimize battery life and full interoperability and coexistence with LTE 4G networks. The best in class and cost effective WM826C00 is ideal for various demanding WLAN applications that require low power consumption and high performance. Examples include home and industrial automation, wearables, medical electronics, intelligent vehicle infrastructure (IVI), streaming audio and video, and many other emerging applications. Using WM826C00 in their systems, system designers can eliminate integration and multi-radio co-existence issues from their designs which reduces the time to market and substantially reduce the overall product cost.

The module is currently undergoing FCC, CE, and IC certifications and comes with out of the box integration tools with all the required protocol stacks, extensive software libraries including cloud access support and sample applications. Fully certified production units will be available in the early third quarter of 2016.

“We are delighted to announce this simultaneous dual band 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n module which can work simultaneously on 5G and 2.4G bands. This module can also support simultaneous access point and client mode enabling variety of applications. Module can address both high performance applications and battery powered applications such as wearables with its small size and low power consumption,” said Ramesh Duvvuru, VP of Engineering Wireless Connectivity.

“We are excited about the release of WM826C00 which addresses the high performing and cost effective 802.11ac dual band Wi-Fi solutions the industry is demanding. WM826C00 will position Wi2Wi well in front of others to tap the fast growing IoT and M2M markets,” said Zachariah Mathews, President and CEO of Wi2Wi.

About IoT and M2M

Essentially, IoT and M2M describe the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Driven by several factors including the growth in the availability of Broadband Internet, which reduces the cost of connecting, and the related increase in Wi-Fi capabilities as well as sensors built into myriad technologies, this has been described as the “perfect storm” for the IoT. Almost any device with an on and off switch that can be connected to the Internet (and/or to each other) – anything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices, cars, as well as machine components in the engine of a jet airplane or the drill of an oil rig. According to analyst firm Gartner, by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices. Others think this figure could be too conservative by a factor of four.
