Mouser Electronics, the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, shares its cutting-edge wireless networking expertise with developers.

Mouser announced today the launch of a comprehensive wireless networking content hub that provides engineers with the latest resources on networking standards.

In today’s increasingly connected world, networking standards are essential to ensure seamless integration of everyday 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 to help designers stay ahead of these developments.

Wireless standards are constantly being upgraded. Wi-Fi 6 adds support for the 6GHz frequency band, increasing bandwidth and reducing congestion. New connectivity standards like Matter, which can work with other protocols, are also playing a pivotal role in unifying smart devices with a single protocol, creating a more diverse and easier-to-use IoT and smart home environment. As more and more wireless devices enter the market, high-performance, reliable connectivity technologies become increasingly important to create a stable and connected future.

Engineers can share the expertise of Mouser’s technical team in designing innovative wireless networking solutions through a series of articles, blogs, eBooks, and product information. The content hub also provides an easy source for engaging with expert discussions through Mouser’s interactive series, including the Essential Guide to Wi-Fi 7. Articles detail the game-changing new upgrade to the standard, explaining how engineers can prepare for 8K video and immersive gaming experiences by reducing latency, increasing network capacity, and improving reliability.

A key solution shared with Mouser is the nRF7002-DK Wi-Fi 6 development kit from Nordic Semiconductor, which includes everything needed to get started developing connected applications on a single board. Designed to support development of low-power Wi-Fi 6 applications, the kit supports Wi-Fi 6 features such as OFDMA, beamforming, and Target Wake Time (TWT). In addition to Wi-Fi 6, the nRF7002 supports all of the wireless protocols used in Matter, including 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 wireless board includes an on-chip antenna and also offers an optional micro u.FL connector for an external antenna. The motherboard features an onboard J-Link debugger with Packet Trace Interface (PTI) and a virtual COM port, enabling implementation of applications such as smart home, retail, and healthcare.

Qorvo’s 2GHz Wi-Fi 7 high-power front-end module, the QPF4257, optimizes power consumption from 5V power supplies while maximizing linear output power and throughput. The device also integrates a 2.4GHz power amplifier, a single pole two-throw (SP2T) switch, and a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass into a single device, supporting efficient layout and application feedback.

The SX-PCEAX-AP 802.11 Wi-Fi module from Silex Technology is an embedded wireless LAN module based on the Qualcomm QCN9072 chipset. The module provides a Wi-Fi access point compatible with 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz, enabling faster data rates and lower latency in congested wireless environments. Operating from -40°C to 85°C and with a supply voltage of 3.3V, the module is suitable for access points, gateways, and industrial applications.
