Intel AC8265 M.2 NGFF Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 4.2 NIC for Jetson Nano

Description

The AC8265 Wireless NIC is an M.2 form-factor network interface card designed to provide robust wireless connectivity for embedded systems, specifically the NVIDIA Jetson Nano. It integrates the Intel 8265AC chipset, a proven solution for simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 communication. This module transforms the Jetson Nano into a wirelessly capable edge AI device, facilitating remote data transfer, over-the-air updates, and peripheral connectivity without consuming valuable USB ports.

Engineered for reliable integration, the card features a standard M.2 NGFF (Key E) edge connector for a secure, low-profile mount directly onto the carrier board. It includes dual IPEX antenna ports, allowing developers to connect external antennas via pigtail cables to significantly enhance wireless range and signal integrity in challenging RF environments. This makes it suitable for applications where the device is housed within an enclosure or deployed in areas with potential Wi-Fi interference.
