802.11 ac/a/b/g/n 2x2 wifi and Bluetooth combo PCIe half-size mini card, BCM43570 Model: DHXB-TV1 DHXB-TV1 is an 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n dual band 2x2 wifi and Bluetooth combo PCI-e halfsize mini card module designed for client devices which require small size and lower-power consumption. High integration of 11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 +EDR solution provides the increased coverage and throughput performance required for high quality video and media applications in the home and enterprises. Key Features: High integrated dual-band (2.4/5GHz) 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n 2Tx/2Rx WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1 + EDR combo solution in a half-size PCIe mini card is ideal for client devices requiring small size and low-power connectivity. Dual-band (2.4/5GHz) 2-stream 802.11ac supports 20/40/80MHz bandwidth and 256QAM modulation reaching maximum 867 Mbps PHY rate. Bluetooth 4.1supports enhanced data rate (EDR) to drive the Internet of Things'. Advanced multi-radio coexistence between Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LTE subsystems ensure the best possible wireless experience, maximum performance, and lowest power consumption. Built-in media processing to off-load host processor and advanced idle power consumption performance, which significantly extends battery life of portable devices and can be added to any end product regardless of the application processor used. Supported by open source Linux Wireless providing completely open source host brcmsmac driver for industrial, academic, or personal projects at highest flexibility and lowest cost. Standard 29.85 (W) x 26.8 (L) mm half-size PCIe with mounting screw hole. Three U.FL antenna connectors ( 2 for Wi-Fi and 1 for Bluetooth) for external antennas enable highest design flexibility. Optical quality inspection and individual power calibration ensure high performance and stable quality. REACH SVHC 73 and RoHS compliance ensure a high level protection of human health and the environment from risks that can be posed by chemicals. [Unex] - Ver. 1.0 20160205 P. 1
