Hello all,

sorry if this is the wrong forum, but i have not found a better matching.

 

My question:

We are new to Qualcomms  chips may want to use the 4020 in a new project.

So is the 4020 capable of creating two independent Wifi sessions, meaning e.g.  one softAP and one client at the same time on the same radio? Or two clients connected to two different SSIDs at the same time?

Meaning it can communicte with both nets at (roughly) the same time.

I understood that it is capable of bridging between 5 and 2.4GHz Wifi but then can't communicate by itself (no IP)?

Thanks!

Hi , 

Thank you for Query .

Yes . This is the right forum to ask question about QCA4020. You can ask all your query realted to QCA4020 here . 

 

1.So is the 4020 capable of creating two independent Wifi sessions, meaning e.g.  one softAP and one client at the same time on the same radio. 

--> Yes, this is possible. 

2. Or two clients connected to two different SSIDs at the same time?

--> You mean two independent STA interface ??

3.I understood that it is capable of bridging between 5 and 2.4GHz Wifi but then can't communicate by itself (no IP)?

-->We support bridge functionlaity , where connected REF STA to Soft AP interfcae  can ping to REF AP to which STA interfcae is connected. 

REF STA get the IP from the  REF AP . DHCP server runs at the backend of REF AP . Do you look for l2 bridge functionality?? 

4.Wifi but then can't communicate by itself (no IP)?--

Please provide some more details about your requirment?? 

 

Thank you .

H1,

thanks for your support.

 

We need the capability of a peer 2 peer net with forwarding on 5GHz, basically a mesh like 802.11s or someting on a higher layer (which would then be a STA and AP at the same time on 5GHz).

 

regards,
