WMDQ-174AC

Version: 1.0

Date:2015/05/21

5GHz 802.11ac/n/a 1.3Gbps

WMDQ-174AC is a 5GHz Single Band 3T3R PCIe mini Card Module based on the Qualcomm QCA9880

solution which features improved transmission power and sensitivity by Gemtek.

Using the QCA9880 external PA, it is the ideal cost effective solution for platform integration.

With enhanced technologies such as advanced power management and receiver boost, it makes the

WMDQ-174AC the ideal 5GHz 3T3R module.
