BLACK bean is a WiFi 5 (IEEE 802.11b/g/n/a/ac Wave2) dual-band wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.0 PCIe M.2 card optimized for small size and low power consumption. The card is based on a Qualcomm QCA9377-5 chipset which has an integrated dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) 1x1 WiFi 5 radio (supporting MU-MIMO) and Bluetooth® 5.0 transceivers combined in to a very small form factor (30 x 16.5mm). The radio supports advanced power saving techniques. Bluetooth supports both Class1 and Class2 transmissions, advanced coexistence mechanisms allow it to work seamlessly with Wi-Fi ensuring good quality and high performance. BLACK bean software drivers are available for Linux, Windows 10 and Android operating systems.

BLACK bean DVK is a development kit for the BLACK bean M.2 PCIe card based on a QCA9377 SoC.
