Red Bean Ant-DVK (by 8Devices), Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377-3-based 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, 2.4 & 5.0 GHz, 1x1 SDIO WiFi & 5.0 Bluetooth Development Board

Red Bean-Ant Development Board is based on a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377-3-based SDIO Wifi module, fully certified module.  The module is a  IEEE 802.11b/g/n/a/ac Wave2 dual-band wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.0 SDIO module optimized for small size and low power consumption. 

It has an integrated dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) 1x1 802.11ac Wave2 Wi-Fi (supporting MU-MIMO) and Bluetooth® 4.2 transceivers and combined in to very small form factor (17 x 12 mm with RF connector and 24 x 12mm with integrated antenna). 

The radio module supports advanced power saving techniques. Bluetooth supports both Class1 and Class2 transmissions and advanced coexistence mechanisms allow it to work seamlessly with Wi-Fi ensuring good quality and high performance.

RED bean software drivers are available for Linux, Windows 10 and Android operating systems.
