The HK01 is Qualcomm’s first 802.11ax network solution reference board, designed to meet the growing demands of increasingly crowded and dense Wi-Fi environments. It offers the optimal 11ax configuration to bring unprecedented capacity and coverage to Wi-Fi networks, and supports several unique features to ensure the best possible Wi-Fi performance for all types of applications.
Qualcomm HK01 KEY FEATURES
The HK01 is a highly-integrated SoC designed to deliver maximum capacity, range and performance for the next generation of enterprise access points, carrier gateways and consumer routers. Key features as followed:
• Up to 4x capacity to maximize network performance*: Utilizing a 12×12 configuration, uplink and downlink MU-MIMO, and supporting eight 80 MHz streams, the IPQ8074 quadruples capacity*, delivers up to 4.8 Gbps, and maintains fast connections over larger coverage areas.
• Smart features for seamless connectivity: In addition to Qualcomm® Wi-Fi Self-Organizing Network (SON), which simplifies installation, optimizes traffic, and reduces dead spots, the IPQ8074 offers unique features to reduce harmful interference in dense areas with many overlapping Wi-Fi access points.
• All-in-one platform: Integrates an 11ax radio, MAC and baseband, plus a quad-core 64-bit A53 CPU and dual-core network accelerator to provide a fully-offloaded 11ax subsystem. The 14nm design provides power and size advantages, while a wide range of external WAN and media interfaces allows customers to build a full portfolio of 802.11ax products.
