Black Bean is a high-performance and ultra-low-power surface-mount PCIe M.2 Wi-Fi radio module. Its tiny form factor makes it easy to add single-stream 11ac Wave2 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 to your project.
Despite its small size, this module manages to fit in dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) 1×1 802.11ac Wave2 WiFi (supporting MU-MIMO) and Bluetooth capabilities. Black Bean delivers extraordinary performance and value to projects of any size.
