The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK supports IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), 802.11ac Wave 2, and legacy 802.11a/b/g/n standards. It operates in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with 20/40/80/160 MHz channel bandwidths, including 80+80 MHz. The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK implements full downlink and uplink OFDMA and MU-MIMO as defined in the 802.11ax specification.
Does the 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK include Bluetooth functionality?
Yes, the 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK integrates a Bluetooth 5 radio supporting classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, long-range mode, and direction finding using angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD). This enables sub-meter precision location without external components. The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK uses dedicated BT PCM and UART interfaces for audio and control path separation.
What host interfaces are available on the 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK?
The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK provides PCIe 3.0 (2-lane) and MoChi (2-lane) high-speed serial interfaces for host communication, plus a high-speed UART dedicated to Bluetooth. The MoChi interface enables scalable, low-latency interconnection with other NXP SoCs, while PCIe 3.0 ensures compatibility with standard Linux-based host platforms. The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK does not support USB or SDIO host interfaces.
What is the precision location capability of the 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK?
The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK achieves ≤1 meter distance accuracy and ≤10° angular resolution using Bluetooth 5 direction finding techniques. This capability relies on synchronized RF phase sampling across multiple antennas and is implemented entirely within the SoC's integrated BT 5 radio and timing subsystem. The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK does not require external GNSS or UWB components to deliver this level of indoor positioning fidelity.
Is the 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK pin-compatible with other members of the 88W9064 family?
No, the 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK is not pin-compatible with the 88W9064S variant due to differing RF configuration requirements and internal routing. While both share the same 388-ball FC-BGA package footprint, ball function mapping differs - particularly for RF I/O, calibration signals, and GPIO assignments tied to set-top box vs. access point use cases. The 88W9064-A1-BWPI/AK must be designed into PCBs using its specific pinout documentation.
