Differentials.
The AEH-AR9462 Series provides an excellent value step-up from entry-level low-budget single-band modules.
It has solid orientation to consumer grade applications backed by World Regulatory Certification, sort lead-times, high production capacity and energy saving algorithms programmed in.
Such is its cost-to-features strength, that the AEH-AR9462 Series provides the natural choice even when some of its capabilities are redundant with certain application designs.
Top Features.
Dual Band 11N: The AEH-AR9462 Series supports both 2.4Ghz legacy band and the less crowded 5Ghz wireless bands for connections up to 300Mbps. Designs may use up-to two antenna via the on-board U.Fl./IPEX connectors to achieve MIMO 2Tx2R (2 Transmit & 2 Receive) performance.
Bluetooth 4.0 SMAART READY: AEH-AR9462 are combo mPCI-E modules, with both WLAN IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 SMART READY, including BLE and HS support, on the same single chip.
Longer Range: Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, the MIMO implementation in this module actually uses reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless coverage area.
DirectConnect: The AEH-AR9462 Series is WiFi Direct® & Miracast® Certified enabling easy direct connectivity and wireless display functionality with other compliant devices without the need of a wireless access point.
Less Power: A high level of integration and full implementation of power management functions specified in the AEH-AR9462 minimizes system power requirements. It conserves power with 1×1 downshift, using Dynamic MIMO, Power Save and low platform power with CoolMode.
Compliance: With Modular World Regulatory Certification (50+ domains) and full compatibility with the latest industry standards like 802.11h regulatory adaptability, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ via PIN and Push-Button (PBC), Passpoint™ and Voice protocols, the AEH-AR9462 provides a modern all-round solution at an optimal price point.
Extended Temperature Grade (option): Choose LX to go wide. The AEH-AR9462-LX version is a remarkable robustness build, made with extended grade components to support operation in wide temperatures (-20°C ~ +80°C). Thus providing a great and affordable solution for applications within demanding environments.
