Compex Introduces JustWiFi⁷ Module

A Driverless, Ethernet-Connected Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 Module Redefining Wireless Connectivity & Integration



Compex Systems is redefining how wireless is integrated into modern embedded and industrial systems with the launch of JustWiFi⁷™, a one-of-a-kind, driverless, tri-band concurrent Wi-Fi 7 module that connects through Ethernet protocols. Designed to eliminate the complexity of traditional wireless integration, JustWiFi⁷™ makes high-performance Wi-Fi deployment faster, simpler and smarter.

Rethinking Wi-Fi Integration: No Drivers. No Hassle. JustWiFi⁷™

Most of the Wi-Fi modules today rely on PCIe, SDIO or USB interfaces and are controlled through drivers. Developers will need to deal with the drivers’ compatibility with the host platform, particularly its OS and kernel version. The drivers for Wi-Fi 7 are particularly complex due to the standard’s advanced features. Many open-sourced drivers and sometimes the host CPU are not able to deliver the full capabilities of the Wi-Fi 7 chipset. These complications often unnecessarily slow down and add to the development time and effort. Engineered for speed, simplicity, and scalability, Compex’s JustWiFi⁷™ breaks away from conventional Wi-Fi module design.

When the module is installed in the host board, the host treats the module as an Ethernet port. All Wi-Fi protocols, including advanced WiFi 7 features, such as Multi-Link Operation (MLO), etc are handled inside the module. This drastically reduces integration complexities such as requiring kernel-specific drivers or host-side firmware, while expanding cross-platform compatibility from Intel x86 to Arm-based System on a Chip (SoCs) like NXP and Marvell, regardless of operating system.

Engineered for Simplicity – Built for Performance

Powered by Qualcomm’s IPQ5322 Quad-Core Cortex-A53 1.5GHz ‘Miami’ SOC and QCN6274 ‘Waikiki’ radio chipset, Compex JustWiFi⁷™ delivers true concurrent tri-band connectivity across 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz in a board about the size of two standard Mini PCIe adapters (70 x 50.8 x 12 mm). The connection to the host CPU is through Ethernet protocols at 10Gbps. With MLO support, JustWiFi⁷™ enables better throughput and low-latency performance, even on non-Qualcomm hosts, making it ideal for industrial, IoT and embedded systems. Whether you’re developing network appliances, smart devices, edge computing or enterprise solutions, JustWiFi⁷™ simplifies your wireless design while unlocking the full potential of Wi-Fi 7 capabilities.

What Sets Compex JustWiFi⁷™ Apart?

  • Driverless Ethernet Integration: Skip the driver development. Compex JustWiFi⁷™ connects via Ethernet Protocols with any host platform, no kernel- specific drivers or host-side firmware work.
  • Standalone & Host-Independent Design: All wireless functions happen inside the module.
  • True Tri-band Wi-Fi 7: Concurrent 2×2 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz for superior performance – aggregate throughput of up to 9.334 Gbps
  • MLO Without Hassle: Unlock the power of Multi-Link Operation for better throughput, low latency and enhanced reliability even on non-Qualcomm hosts, removing the need for traditional driver-based implementations that are tightly tied with the host chipset.
  • Flexible Configuration: Configure and manage with ease via command line.
  • EasyMesh CapableEasyMesh support from the module.
  • Accelerated Time to Market: Simplifies wireless product development by removing driver development and firmware dependencies.
