WNFT-234ACN(BT)
802.11ac/abgn Dual-Band
2T2R Wi-Fi M.2 Module
SparkLAN WNFT-234ACN(BT) is an 802.11ac/a/b/g/n Dual -Band WiFi M.2 card based on Realtek RTL8822BE chipset.
It supports Multiple drivers (Android/ Windows/ Linux) for various application. It was opened to test functionality. It
is dual band AC on 2.4 and 5GHz. The slot type is M.2 2230. The download speed are 300Mbps on N networks and
867Mbps on AC network.
The WNFT-234ACN(BT) is a highly integrated single-chip MIMO (Multiple In, Multiple Out) wireless local area network
(WLAN) solution to let users enjoy the digital content through the latest wireless technology without using the extra
cables and cords. It combines a WLAN MAC, a 2T2R capable WLAN baseband, and RF in s single chip. It enables a high
performance, cost effective, low power, compact solution that easily fits onto the PCI Express and USB M.2 module.
Incorporated with advanced security encryption, such as WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPS, and 802.1x, it helps prevent user’s
devices from malicious attacks
