Industrys rst 802.11ah Wi-Fi Solution for Internet of things (IoT) devices SX-NEWAH Securely connect smart devices over long distances using minimal power Product Overview Powered by NRC7292 System-on-Chip from Newracom, SX-NEWAH is industrys rst IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi module that operates in the Sub 1GHz license-exempt band. It provides a much greater range over 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi technologies and a much higher data rate than propreity Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) technologies such as LoRa and Sigfox. Unlike these proprietary technologies, the SX-NEWAH is built upon 802.11ah technology designed to operate in IEEE standards. This unique solution enables streamlined data transfer interoperability with existing Wi-Fi networks while meeting upto 1Km long range data transfer with low power consumption requirements. SX-NEWAH opens up unlimited possibilities for various remote monitoring applications such as industrial sensors, elderly monitoring, security surveillance, building automation and agricultural IoT. Bene ts Improved Range Long range (up to 1 km) connectivity (in-outdoor Wi-Fi). It o ers atleast a 10 dB advantage over 2.4 GHz. Low Power Consumption Low power consumption for a multi-year battery operation. Whole home sensor coverage with 4dBm output power & no external power ampli er. Supports enhanced power save MAC modes. Rich Data Rates Moderate data rates (up to 15 Mbps) with enough throughput to support TCP/IP, Internet discovery protocols and diverse applications such as voice, low/medium resolution video. Scalable Can support large number of connected devices per access point, no need for repeaters and gateways. Supports over 100 nodes. IP Connectivity It is the same as Wi-Fi. You can easily integrate SX-NEWAH in an existing IP network. Key Features Complies with IEEE 802.11ah draft Robust Wi-Fi Security Supports 1/2/4 MHz bandwidth supports latest generation Wi-Fi security - WPA3 Upto 15 Mbps data rate Outdoor Coverage Access point and station mode Security: OPEN, WPA2-PSK(AES), WPA3-OWE, WPA3-SAE Support for larger delay spreads. Robust connections with superior penetration through walls and other industrial environments. Dedicated SPI interface for host Manufacturing tools for con guration test Wi-Fi Ecosystem Diagnostic and DUT test tools for indoor and outdoor test WFA interoperability and user experience.
