Compex Dual-band Wi-Fi 7 Modules Features M.2 E-Key or Standard MiniPCIe Interfaces

Compex Dual-band Wi-Fi 7 Modules the WLE7002E25D and the WLT7002E25D-E are designed to enhance Wi-Fi reliability by giving you an upgrade from Wi-Fi6 and 6E modules that we have been using for a couple of years now. The WLE7002E25D uses a MiniPCIe form factor, while the WLT7002E25D-E employs an M.2 E-Key interface. Both modules feature Multi-Link Operation to enhance throughput and reliability, advanced OFDMA modulation techniques, and compatibility with Linux operating systems. All these features make this device useful for various applications across enterprise, industrial, cybersecurity, transportation, and small to medium-sized businesses.

Powered by Qualcomm’s QCN6224, QCN6274, and QCN9274-I chipsets, the modules support dual-band operations on 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. Features like Multi-Link Operation enhance throughput and reliability by using multiple frequencies simultaneously. They support advanced OFDMA modulation (BPSK to 4096QAM) and channel widths of 20/40MHz at 2.4GHz and up to 240MHz at 5GHz and are compatible with Linux operating systems for versatile integration. The diplexer design allows a single dual-band antenna to handle both 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals, simplifying device design. Compatibility with the open-source Ath12k driver enables integration with various platforms, including Qualcomm, Marvell, NXP, and x86 systems.
