Overview
RED bean is IEEE 802.11b/g/n/a/ac Wave2 dual-band wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.0 SDIO3 module optimized for small size and low power consumption.
It is based on Qualcomm QCA9377-3 chipset. Has an integrated dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) 1x1 802.11ac Wave2 Wi-Fi (supporting MU-MIMO) and Bluetooth® 5.0 transceivers and combined in to very small form factor (17 x 12 mm with RF connector and 24 x 12mm with integrated antenna).
The radio module supports advanced power saving techniques. Bluetooth supports both Class1 and Class2 transmissions and advanced coexistence mechanisms allow it to work seamlessly with Wi-Fi ensuring good quality and high performance.
RED bean software drivers are available for Linux and Android operating systems.
