AW7615-NP1 Dual Band 4x4 802.llac MiniPCle WiFi
Module
WiFi5 11ac 4T4R module 1700Mbps
Introduction
Product overview
It fully complies with IEEE802.11ac and IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n standards, offering feature-rich wireless
connectivity at high standards, and delivering reliable, cost-effective throughput from an extended distance.
Optimized RF architecture and base band algorithms provide superb performance and low power
consumption. Intelligent MAC design deploys a high efficient offload engine and hardware data processing
accelerators which completely offloads Wi-Fi task of the host processor. MT7615 is designed to support
standard based features in the areas of security, quality of service and international regulations, giving end
users the greatest performance any time and in any circumstance.
MT7615 supports concurrent dual-band operation at 5GHz and 2.4GHz band (DBDC,
Dual-Band-Dual-Concurrent).
With the advent of 802.11ac, multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) is defined. MT7615 supports MU-MIMO with
different configurations. An AP is able to use its antenna arrays to transmit multiple frames to different
clients at the same time and over the same frequency spectrum.
