Overview

The kit is built around the 60GHz wireless technology, which offers incredibly fast and reliable data transmission rates of up to 2.5Gbit/s, making it an ideal choice for use cases such as wireless backhaul, video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

Another key feature of the PRM2141X DVK is 3-D beamforming antenna and its ability to connect up to 32 stations via a wireless access point (AP). This makes it an ideal choice for use cases that require multiple devices to connect to a single network, such as in an industrial automation system or smart city applications.

PRM2141X development kit from 8devices allows easy evaluation of technology and development of products based on 60GHz millimeter wave radios from Peraso connected via USB3, ideal for short-range, multi-gigabit data transmission.
