A specification for internally mounted computer expansion cards and associated connectors. Computer bus interfaces provided through the M.2 connector is PCI Express 3.0, Serial ATA 3.0, and USB 3.0. With a more flexible physical specification, the M.2 is ideal for solid-state storage applications and particularly in smaller devices such as tablets and ultra-books. WNSQ-261ACN(BT) is an 802.11ac/a/b/g/n Dual-Band Wi-Fi+Bluetooth M.2 LGA type 1216 module based on Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174A-5 chipset. It is Dual-Band AC on 2.4GHz+5GHz and incorporates the latest Bluetooth 5.0.WNFQ-258ACN(BT) is an 802.11ac/a/b/g/n Dual-Band WiFi+Bluetooth M.2 card(WiFi 5) based on Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174A chipset.It is Dual-Band AC on 2.4 and 5GHz and incorporates the latest Bluetooth 5.0. The slot type is M.2 2230. The download speeds are 300Mbps on N networks and 867Mbps on AC network.
Both ideal for next-generation enterprise networking solutions and applications such as industrial PC’s and intelligent gateways, this is incorporated with advanced security encryption, such as WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPS, and 802.1x, to prevent malicious attacks.
