Product Description
The Laird WB50NBT provides complete enterprise-class Wi-Fi connectivity with an integrated TCP/IP stack, full
support for 2 x 2 MIMO IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 dual-mode wireless standards, three-wired
coexistence scheme, a fully integrated security supplicant providing 802.11i/WPA2 Enterprise authentication
and data encryption, and a BT protocol stack. The system is a full Linux 4.1.13 kernel based system with
modifiable file system allowing custom applications to run alongside system applications.
The WB50NBT is a fully integrated module with RF shielding and two U.FL type antenna connectors providing
two stream MIMO operation for maximum data rate. The Main antenna (for Wi-Fi only) and the Auxiliary
antenna (for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) work together with the three-wired coexistence scheme to provide the best
coexistence performance.
