RPAA-82 PCBA is an industry-leading dual-concurrent Access Point reference board with 2 mini-PCI sockets designed specifically to simplify the development of high-end Access Point for enterprise and SMB market. RPAA-82 PCBA leverages Atheros AR7161 processor at 680MHz CPU clock cycle to deliver up to 600Mbps of TCP/IP throughputs in the combined 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands while providing enough processing power to address other enterprise-class applications.

Scalable architecture of dual-concurrent Access Point reference board with two Mini-PCI sockets for WiFi radio module, optional host USB 2.0, IEEE 802.3at (draft 3.0) high-powered PoE+ input, single 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 interface, up to MIMO 3x3 antennas architecture, and project-based hardware customization service allow customers to provide an application-specific platform at highest flexibility and get a jump-start on their next application design.

Along with best-in-class hardware support, Unex can provide a board support package (BSP) including redboot boot loader, gcc-3.4.4-2.16.1 tool chain, mips-Linux 2.6.15 kernel source, wifi driver, GNU-mips complier, assembler, linker, and other basic application sources (subject to Atheros sub-license agreement) allow customers to focus on high value tasks and advanced AP firmware features to rapidly create compelling new products that succeed in the marketplace.

▪ Compatible radio modules of 802.11n a/b/g 3x3 DNMA-83, 802.11n a/b/g 2x2 DNMA-92, 802.11n b/g 2x2 DNMA-91, high power 802.11 a/b/g CM10-H(MMCX), and high-power FCC 4.9GHz radio provide highest application flexibility to meet challenging RF environments in factories, warehouses, hospitals, and large retail establishments.

▪ Atheros AR7161 680MHz processor delivers up to 600Mbps TCP/IP throughputs in the combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands while providing enough processing power to address other enterprise-class applications.

▪ Dual radio design allows simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GH operation to offer the greatest number of available channels on system capacity and scalability.

▪ 802.3at high-powered POE+ sufficiently supports dual concurrent 802.11n radios to deliver full 3x3 MIMO performance.

▪ 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet port delivers line-rate throughput of high-speed 802.11n.▪ 6 low-profile single-band or 3 dual-band internal/external antenna options provide highest flexibility to optimize

MIMO performance.▪ WPS button can set up a secure wireless network by simply pressing a button, without troublesome Web

configuration.▪ Supports operating frequency from 2.3-2.5GHz and 4.9-5.925GHz. ▪ Lead-free RoHS compliance meets environment-friendly requirement.▪ Optional USB 2.0 host interface provides extra flexibility for new applications
