July 26, 2024 –  Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, provides engineers with the latest resources for networking standards with its comprehensive  wireless networking content hub. In an era of heightened connectivity, networking standards are integral to ensuring seamless integration in our daily interactions. Wi-Fi^® 6,  Wi-Fi 7, and  Matter are pushing the boundaries of speed, latency, and efficiency. Mouser's resource center provides engineers with the latest updates and insights, enabling designers to remain at the cutting edge of these advancements.

Wireless standards are constantly being upgraded, such as the increase in bandwidth and  decrease in congestion with Wi-Fi 6 through the added support for the 6 GHz frequency band. These connectivity updates work together with other protocols like Matter, a pivotal unification of smart devices under a  single protocol, to create rich and effortless  IoT and smart home environments. With the increasing number of wireless devices coming to market, the significance of high-performing and reliable connectivity is important to create a trustworthy, connected future.

Through a stream of  articles,  blogs,  eBooks, and  products, engineers are equipped with the knowledge required to design innovative wireless networking solutions from Mouser's technical team. The content hub is an easy-access source from which to engage with expert discussions, such as the need-to-know guide on  Wi-Fi 7 from Mouser's interactive series. The article details the game-changing upgrades to the standard, preparing engineers for 8K video and immersive gaming experiences with reduced latency, increased network capacity, and improved reliability.

Mouser stocks the industry's widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following solutions for wireless networking applications:

• The  nRF7002-DK Wi-Fi 6 development kit by  Nordic Semiconductor contains everything needed to get started on connectivity applications, all on a single board. Supporting the development of low-power Wi-Fi 6 applications, the kit enables Wi-Fi 6 features like OFDMA, Beamforming, and Target Wake Time. With Wi-Fi 6, the nRF7002 enables support of all wireless protocols used in Matter, Bluetooth^® LE for commissioning, Thread for low power mesh, and Wi-Fi for high-throughput.
• The  SiWx917 Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth LE 5.4 pro kit from  Silicon Labs is designed to support the development of wireless IoT devices based on the SiWx917 ultra-low power SoC. The radio board includes an on-chip antenna and an option for micro u.FL connector for external antennas. The main board contains an onboard J-Link debugger with a Packet Trace Interface and a Virtual COM port, enabling applications in smart homes, retail, medical, and more.
• The  QPF4257 2GHz Wi-Fi 7 high-power front-end module by  Qorvo optimizes power consumption for a 5-volt supply while maximizing linear output power and throughput. The device also features a 2.4 GHz power amplifier, single-pole two-throw switch (SP2T), and bypassable low-noise amplifier (LNA) in one device for efficient layout and application feedback.
• The  SX-PCEAX-AP11 Wi-Fi modules by  Silex Technology are embedded wireless LAN modules using the Qualcomm QCN9072 chipset. They provide a Wi-Fi access point compatible with 2.4 GHz/5 GHz/6 GHz, featuring faster data speeds and lower latency in congested wireless environments. The modules operate at -40°C to 85°C temperature range and 3.3V supply voltage for access points, gateways, and industrial applications.
