QCA401x is a highly integrated and feature-
rich intelligent Wi-Fi platform for the IoT,
engineered to answer manufacturer
demand for increased computing
performance, memory and advanced
features while minimizing size, cost and
power consumption.
QCA4010 is a one-stream (1x1) IEEE
802.11b/g/n single-band (2.4GHz) SoC and
QCA4012 is a one-stream (1x1) IEEE 802.11a/b/
g/n dual-band SoC with 2.4GHz and 5GHz
connectivity. The QCA4010/2 SoCs are
designed to feature a fully integrated micro-
control unit (MCU) in a single-chip solution
and incorporate intelligence, security and
advanced services for the devices and
systems of the IoT—from appliances, smart
lighting and remote controls, to sophisticated
home automation, security, energy
management systems and more.
QCA4010/2 SoCs include a suite of
communication protocols including IPv4v6,
TCP/UDP, HTTP, SSL, DHCP, ICMP, IGMP
and DNS, as well as support for multiple
cloud service providers and oer a built-in
security engine. In order to help address
fragmentation in the IoT, QCA4010/2 is
designed to support popular application
layer interoperability standards, allowing
products to connect across dierent
brands and platforms. This helps achieve
compatibility between products in the home,
making them easier and more secure to use.
