The PCSRPWH reference platform allows the development of demonstration vehicles for use cases based on the IEEE 802.11ah standard, known as Wi-Fi HaLow. Using a pair of PCSRPWH devices enables testing of real-world applications.
The PCSRPWH reference platform is composed of a Palma Ceia Wi-Fi HaLow transceiver IC and an FPGA module evaluation board containing the baseband and MAC implementation. Intended for product designers and system architects, PCSRPWH enables the evaluation and demonstration of Wi-Fi HaLow in real-world applications. The PCSRPWH reference platform provides a Linux platform equipped with an IEEE 802.11ah/HaLow radio and Ethernet connection. It is simple to extend an existing Ethernet network with the Wi-Fi HaLow gateway for a quick demonstration vehicle and for lab evaluation. The reference platform has been factory set for 0 dBm. Output power is a user-configurable option up to +20 dBm.
