Pineapple

The Pineapple radio module family uses the Qualcomm QCN9074 chipset to unlock the cutting-edge speed of Wi-Fi 6E and other contemporary high-speed standards. Castellated pin module, PCIe, and M.2 A+E configurations mean there are more ways to integrate high-performance connectivity into your existing projects.

  • Qualcomm QCN9074
    This radio chipset delivers 4x4 MU-MIMO radio support, 160MHz maximum channel sizes, and a broad range of connectivity features.
  • Flexible integration
    A variety of Pineapple versions and connection options - castellated pins, PCIe, or M.2 A+E slots - makes it easier to plug unprecedented performance into your existing production chains
  • Versatile radio connectivity
    Pineapple can run in access point and station modes and features 4x4 MIMO and 160MHz channels
  • Frequency band options
    Three different Pineapple versions give you the choice of 2GHz, 5GHz, or 6GHz connectivity
  • High-performance Wi-Fi 6
    Pineapple can enable data rates up to 4.8Gbps and minimed latency for your project

Pineapple supports FirmUx

Mango and Pineapple make a powerful combination when used together. When integrated with Mango, Pineapple supports both FirmUx Networking – our embedded Linux platform – and open-source QSDK. This provides developers with the flexibility to choose between fully open source or proprietary Qualcomm drivers with FirmUx’s powerful integration procedure tools. FirmUx also provides easier steps for developers to build their own firmware and manage their device operations.
