Please take all the time you need to make a great board. Good luck!

And again, no news. It’s been seven months since the first post in this thread. But there’s news: “We’re moving to a new office”—what joy! Do you seriously think anyone cares about your move? Do you know what 90% of people here are expecting? Surprise, surprise: the BE 19000 module and proper, working firmware. Maybe you could finally respond to this topic?

Banana Pi BPI-BE14 Wifi7 Module Heat sink and FAN

BE14 is operating normally and has been widely used by commercial customers. However, it lacks isolation for PA. We are currently designing a version of BE14 with isolation. BE19 is also undergoing the second round of hardware improvements and will be released soon.

Hello. Any update on the progress of the BE19 module?

As usual, Banana Pi didn’t publish a specific release date.

thanks for the reply

[sinovoip (bpi team)]

we do all RF test now , when we ready ,will public sale soon

[oli]

would be nice to have some schedule/roadmap available so people know what is the current situation. something like fedora does with Fedora Linux 44 Schedule: Key

[sleeper52 (Kristian)]

fantastic news. will order 1 when it becomes available and, if it performs well, i’ll be ordering another soon after.

[frank-w]

Please make sure about eeprom and EPA isolation which are current issues with be14

[sinovoip (bpi team)]

ok ,note it ,will check with our R&D

[Marazm]

How are you getting any clarification? Have you learned anything?

[sinovoip (bpi team)]

be1900 RF test :

we have finished all hardware function test . The RSSI value of BE19 looks very good now. Next, it’s time to perform calibration and install a shielding case + heat sink.

[Betonmischer]

Would you mind sharing the noise figures for clients connected to the BE19 as seen on the BE19 end? That was the root cause of range issues with the BE14.

Good to know the BE19 is getting EMI shielding!

@sinovoip RSSI without SNR values says nothing. If the clients are next to the router, the signal strength will be high, so the RSSI will be high, even when then SNR is also high.

Can you supply the SNR values and possibly also the distance between the client and router?

[oli]

can you maybe share some kind of roadmap. like, when exactly is calibration planned to begin and to finish? when is shielding case + heat sink expected? when is the first sale expected etc.?

Good evening @sinovoip bpi team leader, it also doesn’t show the WiFi 7 6G functionality.

At 320 Mbps, it clearly shows AX and not BE.

I see too many errors in that screenshot.

Regards

[Marazm]

It’s a bit strange to show RSSI results without SNR and assuming there is no shielding on the card. And yes, why does AX show up when the value is 6G 320 MHz? It should be BE.

Sinovoip when do You plan to make this module available for sale?
