M.2, originally known as Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a computer expansion card that connects components such as solid-state drives (SSDs), Wi-Fi cards, and others to a motherboard. It was introduced in 2013 as an improvement to the mSATA standard and was developed by the PCI-SIG.
M.2 cards come in various sizes and connector types depending on their intended use and can be inserted into different sockets based on the type of computer and motherboard.
Compared to its predecessor, mSATA, M.2 cards provide faster speeds, a smaller form factor, and greater flexibility in connecting different components. They are commonly used in small form factor devices like laptops and desktops with compatible motherboards.
Wallys has designed M.2 cards based on the QCN9074 and QCN9024 chipsets.
This article will discuss the advantages of Wally's M.2 cards and how they can enhance network connectivity.
Below is an overview of the M.2 cards from wallys.
Wallys' M.2 cards are wireless network cards that are designed to provide high-speed WiFi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity on different frequency bands. The M.2 cards are based on the QCN9074 and QCN9024 chipsets and come in different configurations, including the DR9074-2.4G, DR9074-5G(PN02.1), and DR9074-6E(PN02.7).
The DR9074-2.4G uses the Qualcomm Atheros QCN9074 mainchip and is a single-band 2.4GHz 4x4 WiFi 6 card that supports data rates of up to 1147Mbps. It uses the M.2 E Key Interface and is compatible with the PCI Express 3.0 Interface, making it suitable for devices that require reliable and high-performance wireless connectivity, such as laptops, desktops, and routers.
The DR9074-5G(PN02.1) is also based on the Qualcomm Atheros QCN9074 mainchip and provides high-speed WiFi 6 connectivity on the 5GHz frequency band. It supports data rates of up to 4949Mbps and is designed with a 4x4 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) configuration, which means it has four antennas for transmitting and receiving data. Additionally, it supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to detect and avoid radar signals in the 5GHz frequency range to ensure interference-free operation. This card is suitable for devices that require reliable and high-performance wireless connectivity, such as gaming laptops, workstations, and servers.
The DR9074-6E(PN02.7) is based on the Qualcomm Atheros QCN9074 mainchip and provides high-speed WiFi 6E connectivity on the 6GHz frequency band. It supports data rates of up to 4949Mbps and is designed with a 4x4 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) configuration, which means it has four antennas for transmitting and receiving data. This card is ideal for devices that require high-performance wireless connectivity and can take advantage of the additional bandwidth available in the 6GHz frequency band, such as some industrial use and workstations.
