Panasonic PAN9026

The PAN9026 is a dual band 2.4/5 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi radio module with integrated Bluetooth BDR/EDR/LE, specifically designed for highly integrated and cost-effective applications. The simultaneous and independent operation of the two standards enables high data rates (802.11n) and low-power operation (Bluetooth Low Energy). Integrated power management, a fast dual-core CPU, 802.11i security standard support, and high-speed data interfaces deliver the performance for the speed, reliability, and quality requirements of next generation products. TX power calibration data and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth system parameters are pre-stored on the one-time-programmable memory of the PAN9026 during production at Panasonic. This simplifies passing the certification process for PAN9026 customers. Furthermore, the module reduces design, test, and calibration effort resulting in reduced time-to-market compared to discrete solutions.

Integrating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity allows applications such as Smart Energy and home gateways to manage multiple devices and appliances. The combination of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth provides the highest flexibility for connectivity.
