IWAVE SYSTEMS INTRODUCES WI-FI 6 (802.11 AX) ENABLED I.MX 8 SYSTEM ON MODULES AND SINGLE BOARD COMPUTERS

Targeting connected industrial, medical, and automotive applications, iWave adds to its strong portfolio: i.MX 8 System on Modules with Wi-Fi 6.  With the continuous advancement of wireless technologies, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax) brings performance improvement with increased spatial and spectral performance in high-density environments. Wi-Fi 6 is designed to improve speed, increase efficiency with increased throughput by 4 times in a crowded environment, when compared to Wi-Fi 5.

The System on Module (SOM) approach is now the preferred model of product design with the SOM market exptected to reach USD 2.3 billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 11% in the period 2020 – 2026. With W-Fi 6 integrated on the SOM, it becomes easier for designers to design carrier cards and end products, shortening development time with reduced risk and complexity. iWave Systems takes the responsibility of product longevity while maintaining end of life for the hundreds of components on the module.

Integrated with the u-Blox JODY-W3, the System on Module provisions for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity options. iWave provides for a feature rich BSP support on the series of system on modules with the options of LINUX, ANDROID, UBUNTU and QNX. Available in SMARC 2.0, SMARC 2.1 and Qseven form factors, end customers have the options to choose based on the end requirement and the interfaces required. SMARC system on modules fin a fit in multi-media applications, Qseven in industrial applications and SBC for customers who want to focus on software development.

Technology Advancements Of Wi-Fi 6

Wi-Fi 6 drives performance with 2 key technologies: MU-MIMO and OFDMA.

MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) allows the hub/router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. OFDMA allows one transmission to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, where a single channel is divided into a larger number of sub-channels. This allows for increased efficiency in both uploads and downloads.
