The Kiwi Wi-Fi 7 SoM uses the Qualcomm IPQ9570 SoC and the QCN9274 radio chip to deliver high-performance Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and high-throughput multi-user support. Tri-band connectivity, powerful RF output, and the latest high-speed interfaces make Kiwi perfect perfect for your next cutting-edge networking project.

• Qualcomm IPQ9570 / QCN9274
• This powerful combo provides a high-end SoM with a 64-bit 2.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A73 processor, 1 GB DDR4, and 4GB eMMC
• Tri-band connectivity
• Kiwi’s integrated tri-band radio delivers versatile, flexible and robust operation. 2.4GHz delivers high ranges at low speeds, 5GHz offers an optimal balance, and 6GHz maximizes speed at shorter ranges.
• Mass-user support
• Kiwi supports 4k QAM modulation, MU-MIMO and Multi-Link load management to support hundreds of high-throughput connections
• Cutting-edge performance
• The Kiwi SoM delivers powerful Wi-Fi 7 throughput, offering your customers superior performance of over 5 Gbps over channels of up to 320MHz
• High-performance interfaces
• USXGMII ethernet, USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0 and other high-powered interfaces ensure that Kiwi will work with cutting-edge network equipment
• Network hub powerhouse
• Kiwi’s WDS-STA support, high-performance interfaces, and support for multiple connected Noni radio module units make it optimal as a hub for high-performance high-user-count networks

Public safety spectrum support

• This product is suitable for developing critical networked devices for public safety applications. With the right firmware build, Kiwi will support the 4940-4990 MHz band, which the US Federal Communications Commission has allocated to public safety communications.

Kiwi supports FirmUx

Kiwi FirmUx Networking and OpenWrt upstream support will be launched in Q4 2025. FirmUx Networking is a proprietary embedded Linux framework that provides developers with powerful tools and integration procedures. Use it to unlock powerful network features and build your own full-featured firmware and device software.
