Wireless Modules for the WisGate Connect

Alfa Networks AHPI7292S WiFi HaLow Pi Hat

The AHPI7292S module allows building long-range, ultra-low power Wi-Fi networks in sub 1 GHz license-exempt bands, utilizing the very popular Pi Hat form factor. WiFi HaLow™ enables connectivity for many applications, including sensors and wearables.

Features

• IEEE 802.11ah sub 1 GHz module
• Newracom™ NRC7292 WiFi HaLow™ SoC (IEEE 802.11ah draft 8.0 compliant).
•  Qorvo™ RFFM6901 front-end
• IPEX/U.FL antenna connector
• DIP switch for mode select and connector for UART
• Raspberry Pi™ HAT form factor with a 40-pin GPIO connector
• 3×LEDs

Note: this module uses the I2C interface by default.

WiFi6 AX210N Module

The Intel Wi-Fi 6e AX210 adapter is designed to support the upcoming IEEE 802.11 ax standard-Wi-Fi 6e technology and the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi 6e certification. The product supports 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 technology, delivering data rates of up to 2.4G bps and increased network capacity as well as Bluetooth 5.2 support. These new features deliver a significant improvement, supporting fast uploads and downloads, lower latency, and longer battery life compared to solutions supporting 802.11 ac.

Features

• Model: Wi-Fi 6E AX210
• Interface: M.2 A+E (includes an adapter to mini PCIe)
• Dual band: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz (160MHz)
• Speed up to 2400Mbps (the router should support 160 MHz channels-802.11ax)
• Support Bluetooth 5.2

Miro EdgeCard Mioty® 868 Mhz

The Miro EdgeCard mPCIe Mioty® Base Station Card (GWC-62-MY-868) by Miromico is a full System-on-Module (SOM) that provides a plug-and-play solution for long-range and low-power wireless communication networks based on the Mioty® standard. It comes in a MiniPCIe form factor exposing a network interface over a USB 2.0 communication device class (CDC) to interface the Mioty® Base Station Service Center Interface (BSSCI) data to a host processor.

The card is based on a high-performance Sitara processor running the Mioty® base station core library and implementing software-defined radio (SDR). The card embeds an RF frontend with an integrated Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), reaching a sensitivity of down to -136 dBm, and a Power Amplifier (PA), allowing a transmit output power of up to +27 dBm.

The Miro EdgeCard Mioty® is fully compatible with the WisGate Connect gateway and a helper setup script is available in the latest RAKPiOS versions.

Features

• Full Mioty® base station on Mini PCIe card
• ISM 868 MHz frequency band
• Direct Mioty® BSSCI interface
• Up to 3.5M telegrams per day
• Sub-GHz RF I/Q frontend
• TX power up to 27 dBm
• High sensitivity down to -136 dBm
• Fully Mini PCIe compliant card using USB CDC
