RNRA-83 PCBA: dual-concurrent 802.11na/ng 2x2 MIMO AP/Router board, AP96/AR7161+AR9220+AR9223+AR8316

RNRA-83 PCBA is a dual-concurrent 802.11na/ng 2x2 MIMO Access Point and Router board designed specifically for premium ODM to tailor product’s price/performance for specific application and market segment requirements. Equipped with Atheros’ 680MHz AR7161 WNPU to achieve Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in WAN/LAN and two single-chip of AR9220+AR9223 to deliver simultaneous 2.4 and 5GHz bands 802.11n 2x2 MIMO networking in high reliability, RNRA-83 PCBA is the most flexible and powerful platform to meet premium home AP/Router, Gateway, SMB, and Enterprise application requirements.
Adopting high performance wireless engine, RNRA-83 PCBA provides simultaneously multiple access for high-bandwidth video streaming, voice, and data transmission with combined bandwidth up to 600 Mbps PHY/link rate, which is 12 times the bandwidth of 802.11a, or 802.11g.

 

Key Features
