The PCS2500 by Palma Ceia SemiDesign is an Access Point system-on-chip designed for Wi-Fi HaLow networks, following the IEEE 802.11ah protocol. Functioning in the sub-gigahertz spectrum, it supports the construction of expansive IoT networks, offering strong connectivity even at distances reaching up to 1 km. Serving as a gateway, it connects multiple PCS2100 STA units, facilitating a comprehensive IoT infrastructure.
Supporting channel bandwidths of 1 MHz and 2 MHz, the PCS2500 is engineered for minimal power consumption while ensuring robust data transfer. Its ability to manage up to 500 devices at reduced duty cycles minimizes network congestion and optimizes operational efficiency. This AP is ideal for long-range IoT applications where power saving and reliability are essential.
The PCS2500's versatile architecture includes features such as Target Wake Time (TWT) and dynamic bandwidth management (RAW). These innovations reduce power demands by efficiently scheduling data transmission, while its advanced security protocols, including WPA3, offer secure communication. Supporting the latest encryption standards, it is well-suited for sensitive applications in sectors like industrial control and smart sensors.
