524WiFi 900VX ProPlus 3x3 MIMO 802.11ac Mini PCIe Wi-Fi Module, Dual Band, 2,4GHz / 5GHz QCA 9880 advanced edition
524WIFI 900VX ProPlus is tweaked advanced edition based on XB140 reference design from the QCA for QCA9880 chipset. XB140 is a dual band 802.11ac design. New module version for 2021-22 ! 524WIFI 900VX ProPlus / 600VX ProPlus changes the FEM, power, some RF circuit and layout.
Please reffer to comparition protocol to see exact improvements and real numbers. ProPlus means we tweaked the FEM, that is because we always work with the Skyworks; we added the power, we changed the RF and the layout for massively higher performance and drastically lowered working temperature, and we did many tests for it. Please chek our test reports in below links. Specially Designed for higher volume of clients & heavy loads. Tested and aplied in mass transport systems.

524WiFi 900VX (and 600VX ) based on QCA9880 chipset - 524WiFi version has better power amplifier, higher sensitivity a higher tx power (check data) . Enterprise wireless modules integrated with 3×3 5G high power Radio module and 3×3 (resp 2×2) 2.4G high power. Mass transportation infrastructure use cases avalible, already works in many EU countries! Radio module designed specifically to provide users with mobile access to high-bandwidth video streaming, voice, and data transmission for office and challenging RF environment in factories, HW projects cooperation avalible . Specialy designed for higher volume of clients & loads. CE RED, IC Canada and FCC certified and full test reports available! FCC 4,9GHZ Certified!
It is based on XB140 reference design from the QCA for QCA9880 chipset. XB140 is a dual band 802.11ac design. What are the differences between XB140 and 524WiFi 600VX / 900VX?
524WiFi 600VX / 900VX changes the FEM, power, some RF circuit and layout. We change the FEM, that is because we always work with the Skyworks;
we change the power, we change the RF and the layout for higher performance and lower working temperature, and we do many tests for it. Please chek our test reports in Blog section.
Our products are designed for higher numbers of clients connections & support for extreme loads. Very popular for Profi Hot-Spots and Internet for passengers applications!
Do you like our WiFi modules and want to test samples ? No problem ! Please contact us and provide your project description!
WHAT WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT
We offer consultations in the field of IT - information and data networks - capacity, throughput, risk analysis, penetration tests, definition of security measures. We also supply wireless Wi-Fi data and 4G 5G LTE modules worldwide. There is no continent, where we would not have a satisfied customer! Yes, we have already supplied our Wi-Fi modules in Antarctica! You can find our modules, for example, in wind turbines, drones, ships, aircraft, both civil, acrobatic and military… on land, on water and in the air. NASA has also ordered samples, so the next goal is to get them into the outer Space!
