Evaluate AR6003 Radio for Wi-Fi Concurrent Mode

Wifi_concurrentConcurrent Network Mode is the ability of a radio to support Wi-Fi connectivity on two networks at the same time. This means that the same device is capable of acting as a Wi-Fi client on one network while serving as a Wi-Fi access point on another at the same time.

Our SX-6K3-EVK-SD is designed to provide the optimum platform with which to evaluate our wireless module based on the Qualcomm Atheros 6003 radio chip, and Silex Radio Driver with the Freescale’s i.MX6 processor on the Sabre Smart Devices board. The Silex supplied demonstration image for the Sabre-SD board supports a number of WLAN functions and features to allow a comprehensive evaluation of the industry leading Silex SX-SDCAN radio. Many applications require that a radio can simultaneously act both as a client and an access point.

Concurrent Mode App Note CoverDownload our latest application note that outlines how to enable and demonstrate concurrent mode, in which the radio will support two Linux network ports configured separately yet utilizing the same physical hardware. In this configuration the single radio can provide a local self-administered Wi-Fi network and at the same time enable a wireless connection to a work network or even the internet. You will find this application note very helpful as it will walk you through the configuration steps one by one in Linux.
