Bluetooth 4.1: The module supports Bluetooth 4.1, which introduces several improvements over previous Bluetooth versions. Bluetooth 4.1 offers enhanced data transfer rates, an extended communication range, and better power efficiency. It supports both Classic Bluetooth, ideal for high-speed data transfers, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which is optimized for low-power, intermittent communications. Additionally, Bluetooth 4.1 includes improvements in coexistence with other wireless technologies, reducing interference and improving overall performance. This makes the WCN-3660A-0-79BWLNSP-SR-03-1 suitable for applications such as wireless audio devices, smart home gadgets, and health monitoring systems.


Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n): The module provides support for Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), offering reliable wireless networking on the 2.4 GHz frequency band with data rates up to 150 Mbps. While Wi-Fi 4 does not match the speeds of newer standards like Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), it provides stable connectivity for many standard networking tasks, including internet access and file transfers.


SR (Standard Reliability) Variant: The WCN-3660A-0-79BWLNSP-SR-03-1 is classified as a Standard Reliability (SR) variant. This designation means the module is designed to meet general reliability needs, making it suitable for a broad range of applications where consistent performance is required. The SR variant is appropriate for environments that do not have extreme conditions but still need reliable wireless communication.


Compact Form Factor: The module's compact design allows it to be integrated into devices with limited space. This small size makes it suitable for consumer electronics, wearables, and other portable devices. The compact form factor helps reduce the overall size of the device and provides design flexibility.


Low Power Consumption: The WCN-3660A-0-79BWLNSP-SR-03-1 is optimized for low power consumption, which is essential for battery-operated and portable applications. Its energy-efficient design extends battery life and minimizes heat generation, ensuring effective performance in power-sensitive applications.


Versatility: By integrating both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies, the WCN-3660A-0-79BWLNSP-SR-03-1 offers a versatile solution for various connectivity needs. This integration allows the module to deliver comprehensive wireless connectivity in a single package, making it suitable for a wide range of consumer electronics, IoT devices, and industrial applications.


In summary, the Qualcomm WCN-3660A-0-79BWLNSP-SR-03-1 is a high-performance wireless communication module that combines Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) technologies. It offers reliable connectivity with a compact design, low power consumption, and standard reliability, making it a versatile choice for applications requiring dependable wireless performance.
