Description
AW7991-AE2 is an Wi-Fi 7 BE5000 module with MediaTek MT7991 chipset supports Wi-Fi 7 technology and feature IEEE802.11 a/ b/ g/ n/ ac/ ax/ be compliant, 2.4GHz 2×2 2ss,5GHz 3×3 3ss BE5000 Wi-Fi subsystem. The MT7991 offers feature-rich wireless connectivity at high standards and delivers reliable, cost-effective throughput from an extended distance.
The optimized Wi-Fi baseband algorithms provide superb performance. The intelligent MAC design deploys a highly efficient offload engine and hardware data processing accelerators, which fully offload Wi-Fi task of the host processor. The MT7996AV is designed to support standard-based features in the areas of security, quality of service, and international regulations, giving end users the greatest performance at any time and in any circumstances.
