CC3300: extended Wi-Fi standards

Part Number: CC3300

Tool/software:

Hi,

question about the supported extended Wi-Fi standards for the CC33xx. The main standards such as a/g/b/n/ax are known.
But, are the following advanced standards supported?

-802.11d.
-802.11e.
-802.11h
-802.11i
-802.11k
-802.11r
-802.11v

Is there an overview of what the module supports all standards?

Regards, Holger

  • Hi Holger,

    I will first assume that this is Linux application, please correct if I'm mistaken. I know 802.11 K, V, and R are supported on CC33xx as these are the standards related to roaming. 802.11D (Regulatory domains) and 802.11E (QOS) are also supported. 802.11I (RSN) is also supported as this is used in WPA2 security, CC33xx also supports WPA3. 

    I believe everything in this list is supported except the usage of DFS in 5 GHz AP mode. 

    Thanks for pointing this out, I'll file some tickets so that we can get addressed in our SDK documentation. 

  • Hi Sabeeh,
    yes, it is a Linux application, does it make a different? The standards are implemented in the chip, right? Then we should add the standards in the datasheet.

    Regards, Holger

  • Hi Holger,

    Some are determined by the chip, but most are determined by the host. The CC33xx is a transceiver device, so it is simply just moving packets between linux host and wireless medium. Most of the features are actually coming from the host using wpa_supplicant, linux kernel, etc, and the firmware running on CC33x just enables these. 

    I do agree we can improve documentation in this aspect.
