# Wi-Fi

The wireless variant of the ConnectCore 6UL SOM integrates a Qualcomm QCA6564A wireless chipset with the following features:

- Dual Band 5GHz 802.11ac or 2.4/5GHz 802.11n Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
  - 20/40 MHz at 2.4GHz
  - 20/40/80 MHz at 5GHz
- Open, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) (personal and enterprise) authentications
- Data encryption using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
- Station, SoftAP and WiFi Direct (P2P) concurrent modes
- IBSS/Adhoc mode is not supported, use Wi-Fi Direct instead
- Bluetoot (BT) 4.2, AND+, backwards compatible with BT 4.1, 4.0 3.x 2.x and 1.0
- BT and WLAN coexistence

Digi Embedded Yocto defines the dey-wireless feature that builds the following packages for working with the wireless interface:

- wpa-supplicant: The WPA supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations
- hostapd: An IEEE 802.11 access point and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS authenticator
- crda: The Central Regulatory Domain Agent (CRDA) acts as the udev helper for communication between the kernel and user space for regulatory compliance
- iw: A nl80211-based CLI configuration utility for wireless devices

- NetworkManager: Daemon to manage any station network interfaces.
