The PCS2500, part of the Wi-Fi HaLow IEEE 802.11ah family, serves as a central hub for IoT networks, interfacing with multiple client devices like the PCS2100. It functions as both an access point and can act as a gateway to broader network infrastructures. By facilitating connections over a sub-gigahertz frequency range, it enables robust communications across distances of up to 1 km.
This access point supports essential IoT features such as Target Wake Time (TWT) and Resource Allocation Windows (RAW), optimizing network operations and reducing energy consumption. It's capable of handling high device densities efficiently, making it well-suited for industrial and large-scale IoT deployments.
Security measures are robust, with the PCS2500 employing state-of-the-art protocols like WPA3, ensuring secure data handling throughout large-scale IoT operations. Its adaptable architecture allows seamless integration into existing infrastructures, leveraging supported interfaces such as SPI and UART, while comprehensive software ensures the flexibility for updates and system tuning.
