Product Description
The Qualcomm QCA-9982-0-156DRQFN-MT-01-0 is a highly integrated wireless networking solution tailored for applications requiring high throughput, reliable connectivity, and robust performance in multi-device environments. This chip leverages the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, supporting data rates of up to 1.3 Gbps on the 5GHz band, making it ideal for applications such as HD video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers.
One of its key strengths is the inclusion of multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology, which enables it to simultaneously serve multiple devices without compromising performance. This is particularly important in environments where numerous devices are competing for bandwidth, such as in smart homes or enterprise networks. Beamforming technology further enhances its performance by focusing the Wi-Fi signal towards connected devices, improving range and reducing interference from other sources.
The QCA-9982 also operates in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, providing flexibility in network setup and allowing for load balancing. The 2.4GHz band is ideal for longer-range connections, while the 5GHz band offers higher throughput for more data-intensive tasks. This dual-band functionality ensures optimal performance even in crowded wireless environments.
Security is also a priority with the QCA-9982, supporting advanced encryption protocols like WPA3, which offer enhanced protection against network attacks. The low power consumption of this chip makes it well-suited for integration into devices that require energy efficiency, such as wireless routers, access points, and other IoT devices.
The chip is housed in a compact 156-pin DRQFN package, making it easy to integrate into various designs, including those with space constraints. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it can function reliably in both consumer-grade and industrial environments.
