Revolutionizing Wireless Connectivity: Exploring the Compex WLE7002E25 WiFi 7 Mini PCIe Module
The Compex WLE7002E25 is a WiFi 7 module designed in a standard mini PCIe form factor, ensuring compatibility with existing systems using WiFi 4 or WiFi 5 modules. This compatibility simplifies integration for device manufacturers, as they do not need to modify their hardware to accommodate the new generation WiFi 7 module. As a result, development costs are reduced, and time-to-market is accelerated.
One of the key achievements of the WLE7002E25 is its lower power consumption while maintaining impressive transmit power levels. Compared to the high-performance Qualcomm reference design, the WLE7002E25 module offers a 50% reduction in size and significantly lower power consumption with a minor loss in performance. The module boasts a maximum transmit power of 22dBm in the 2.4GHz band and 21dBm in the 5GHz band, with a maximum power consumption of 8.0W.
An important feature of WiFi 7 is Multi-Link Operation (MLO), allowing clients to connect to an Access Point (AP) through multiple bands simultaneously, reducing latency. The WLE7002E25 supports MLO between its 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and implements MLO signals between adapters, enabling MLO with other WiFi 7 modules such as the Compex WLE7000E6. This MLO capability is crucial for applications requiring low latency, such as games, robotics, real-time translation, and teleconferencing.
The WLE7002E25 also offers open-source Ath12k driver support, ensuring seamless integration with non-Qualcomm platforms like x86 embedded boards. Despite its advanced features, the WLE7002E25 is competitively priced, making it an attractive option for migrating from WiFi 4 and WiFi 5 to WiFi 7 directly, bypassing WiFi 6 development costs. The Compex WLE7002E25 is not just a WiFi 7 mini PCIe module but an investment in the future of wireless connectivity, offering cutting-edge technology, comprehensive features, and diverse application potential.
The Compex WLE7002E25 represents more than just a WiFi 7 mini PCIe module; it’s an investment in the future. With its cutting-edge technology, comprehensive features, and diverse application potential, the Compex WLE7002E25 stands poised to rewrite the rules of wireless connectivity.
