The WNFQ-290BE(BT) is the first Qualcomm-based Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) module in a standard M.2 2230 E Key form factor. It is backward compatible with IEEE 802.11 be/ax/ac/a/b/g/n standards and supports tri-band operation across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequencies. It can operate in single-band mode on 2.4 GHz together with either 5 GHz or 6 GHz, and supports channel bandwidths up to 160 MHz.
This module is designed with two spatial streams (2T2R, or 2×2) and supports MU-MIMO for high-efficiency data transfer. Wi-Fi connectivity runs over PCIe, while Bluetooth operates over USB.
With its standard M.2 2230 E Key design, the WNFQ-290BE(BT) fits seamlessly into any platform that already has an M.2 E Key slot, requiring no changes to the host hardware design.
Software support includes Linux (open source) in the near future, and the module is compatible with both x86 and ARM-based platforms. It supports both STA mode and Soft AP mode*, making it well-suited for applications such as digital signage, point-of-sale systems, rugged computers and tablets, fanless industrial automation PCs, and other environments that demand reliable, high-speed wireless connectivity.
