CHAPTER 1. MODULE OVERVIEW

The Foxconn WBUA31 WLAN/BT module contains the Qualcomm Atheros QCA9378 single-chip which is a highly integrated IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.1 +HS. It provides a small formfactor solution with minimal external components to drive down cost for

1-1 Key Characteristic

 Highly integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) system-on-chip(SoC) for 5GHz 802.11ac,

or 2.4/5 GHz 802.11n WLAN applications.

 Bluetooth 4.1 + HS, BLE, ANT+ and be backwards compatible with BT 1.X, 2.X+Enhanced

Datarate.

 Concurrent Bluetooth and WLAN operation.  20/40 MHz at 2.4GHz and 20/40/80MHz MHz at 5 GHz.  Reverse direction grant data flow and frame aggregation  Security : WEP ,WPA ,WPA2, TKIP, AES, CKIP  QoS-WMM, WMM-PS, WMM-SA

 A full-speed USB 2.0-compliant interface for WLAN and Bluetooth  Bluetooth SmartAudio® technology improves voice and music quality to headsets  Bluetooth low-power (BLE) support  Bluetooth packet loss concealment(PLC)
