DCMA-86: Industrial-grade, high-power 802.11a wifi mini-PCI module w/ESD and Surge Protection, AR5414A-B2B
DCMA-86 is the first industrial-grade, high-power 802.11a 5.15-5.85GHz wifi mini-PCI module with accurate high (25dBm) and lower (2.5dBm) power control from –40°C ~ +80°C temperature range and integrated RF ESD/Surge protection circuit.
Both high and lower power control accuracy in –40°C ~ +80°C temperature range can be used to reduce in-band frequency interference of RF signal sources to dramatically improve the data throughput and range performance of Access Points and Clients in high-density enterprise and commercial hot-spot deployments.
RF ESD/Surge protection up to 14KV ensures highest levels of performance and reliability in the harshest outdoor environment such as mesh networking, military, bridging, and infrastructure applications.
Leveraging RF expertise, continuous RD innovation, and highly successful CM10-HI, DCMA-86 is the newest innovation of 5.15 ~ 5.85GHz wifi mini-pci with accurate power control from 25dBm high power to 2.5dBm lower power in extremely temperature range of –40°C ~ +80°C and RF ESD/Surge protection up to 14KV.
- Accurate high (25dBm) and lower (2.5dBm) power controls in –40°C ~ +80°C temperature range can be used to reduce in-band frequency interference to dramatically improve the data throughput and range performance in high-density enterprise and commercial hot-spot deployments.
- RF ESD and Surge protection up to 14KV ensure highest levels of performance and reliability in the harshest outdoor mesh/military deployments.
- Industrial grade –40°C ~ 80°C design ensures reliability and durability for rugged devices.
- Average power up to 300mW (25dBm)/peak power up to 1000mW (30dBm) with superior sensitivity provide better than average wifi transmission coverage.

- RoHS compliance meets environment-friendly requirement.
Why AR5414A B2B required for Industrial Applications?
Industrial grade AR5414A B2B chipset is for applications in the most-demanding environments in the world. It must withstand tremendous temperature, humidity, and ambient air ranges. By contrast, the commercial grade AR5414A is for applications generally placed in a climate-controlled environment that is carefully monitored to ensure optimum performance.
1. In normal temperature range 0 –60°C: the power control accuracy of wifi modules using either AR5414A B2B or AR5414A chipset can be the same precise for a professional company as Unex.
2. At temperature of –15°C, -40°C or +80°C, obvious power control accuracy differences can be found on the test result of AR5415A B2B and AR5414A.
