Product Description
The Qualcomm QCA-9990-0-156DRQFN-MT-06-0 is engineered to provide a high-speed, reliable wireless networking experience in various environments, from home to enterprise and industrial settings. It builds on the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, which offers enhanced speed and efficiency over previous generations of Wi-Fi technology. With multi-user capabilities like 4x4 MU-MIMO, this chipset ensures that even in densely populated environments, such as office buildings or public venues, multiple devices can connect to the network without experiencing significant slowdowns or latency.
Dual-band support allows the QCA-9990 to balance speed and range by operating on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. The 2.4 GHz band is typically less congested, making it ideal for devices further from the access point, while the 5 GHz band supports higher speeds for devices in closer proximity. This dual-band flexibility ensures a strong, reliable connection across various device types and network conditions.
The chipset’s 4x4 MU-MIMO configuration allows it to communicate with four devices simultaneously, increasing network throughput and efficiency. This is especially beneficial in environments with many wireless devices, such as smart homes, offices, or large public spaces like airports or stadiums. Beamforming technology further enhances performance by directing wireless signals directly toward connected devices, minimizing signal loss and improving range.
The chipset’s compact 156-pin DRQFN package makes it easy to integrate into a wide variety of devices, from consumer-grade routers to industrial systems and smart devices. Its operating temperature range ensures reliable performance, even in extreme environmental conditions, making it versatile for both indoor and outdoor applications.
