Espressif ESP32-E22 WiFi 6E module gets Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certificate, an open-source WiFi and Bluetooth Linux drivers

The ESP32-E22 tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 module has received a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certificate from the Wi-Fi Alliance, and Espressif has also released WiFi and Bluetooth Linux drivers for the chip. The ESP32-E22 was first unveiled at CES 2026 with a dual-core RISC-V processor clocked at up to 500 MHz, 1MB RAM, tri-band WiFi 6E tested up to 2.1 Gbps with iperf, and dual-mode Bluetooth 5.4/6.0. While it also features 41 GPIO pins, it's not mainly designed for IoT projects, but instead targets host-based wireless systems needing WiFi 6E / Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity through PCIe 2.0 or SDIO interfaces. In other words, the ESP32-E22 will likely show on M.2 modules, competing against similar products from MediaTek and Intel. Espressif has not said which module was tested for the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certificate, but I suspect it should be the upcoming ESP32-E22-M2-1 M.2 module listed on the company's website. From the certificate,

Synaptics Astra SRW1500 Cortex-M52 Edge AI MCU features Ethos-U55 NPU, Wi-Fi 6/7, Bluetooth 6.0, 802.15.4 connectivity

Synaptics has introduced the Astra SRW1500 Series of AI-native Edge AI MCUs designed for smart IoT edge devices. The family features an Arm Cortex-M52 core, an optional Arm Ethos-U55 Neural Processing Unit (NPU), and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 or Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0 LE, and 802.15.4 connectivity, in a single package. It targets low-latency on-device AI workloads such as voice-trigger detection, sound-event classification, and AI-enhanced Wi-Fi sensing. The series currently comes in four variants offering different wireless and USB options. Since sensing, AI processing, and wireless connectivity are integrated into a single chip, this approach helps reduce system costs, simplify PCB design, and lower power consumption in devices such as smart home hubs, building automation systems, and home appliances. Synaptics SRW1500 Series specifications: CPU Arm Cortex-M52 application core up to 200 MHz with Arm Helium (MVE) vector extensions for DSP and ML Arm Cortex-R4 WiFi core with 960 KB SRAM and 1408

GEEKOM A7 2026 Edition (AMD Ryzen 5 7545U) mini PC review – Part 1: specifications, unboxing, teardown, and first boot

GEEKOM sent us a review sample of the A7 2026 Edition mini PC powered by a 4.9 GHz AMD Ryzen 5 7545U hexa-core/12-thread processor, paired with 16GB DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and a 500 GB NVMe SSD. It comes with two HDMI 2.0 ports and two USB4 with DisplayPort Alt mode to enable four-monitor setups, 2.5GbE, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, an SD card reader, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a few USB-A ports. As its name implies, it's a variant of the GEEKOM A7 (Ryzen 9 7940HS) mini PC we reviewed in 2024 with Windows 11 Pro and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, and we'll keep that in mind to compare the more affordable 2026 Edition to its older sibling in our three-part review. In this article, we will cover the full specifications, unbox the device, go through a teardown to check the hardware design, and boot it to the pre-installed Windows

Reolink OMVI triple-lens AI security cameras combine 4K PTZ camera with dual-lens system with fixed 180° panoramic view

Reolink has launched the new OMVI Series of triple-lens AI security cameras, featuring a 4K PTZ motorized camera and a fixed dual-lens system that offers a 24/7 180° panoramic view. The camera also supports AI detection and video search, designed to eliminate the typical blind spots of a standard Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera. The series includes three models: the OMVI 3i PoE, OMVI 3i WiFi, and OMVI X16 PoE. All of them use the same basic design, combining a fixed dual-lens camera for a 180° panoramic view with a separate PTZ camera in a single housing. This setup allows the camera to monitor a wide area continuously while the PTZ lens focuses on and tracks specific objects. Reolink OMVI triple-lens security cameras specifications: The OMNI cameras are supported by the Reolink mobile app for iOS 15.1+ and Android 8.0+, the Reolink Client for Windows 8.1+ and macOS 10.15+, Reolink NVR, and

Γιατί πολλοί παραπονιούνται για το Wi‑Fi του FRITZ!Box 7530 AX

Παρά τα παράπονα που εμφανίζονται σε forums και συζητήσεις χρηστών, το FRITZ!Box 7530 AX παραμένει μια πολύ ισχυρή πρόταση επειδή συνδυάζει modem/router, Wi‑Fi 6, τηλεφωνία, VPN, ασφάλεια, Gigabit LAN και εύκολη μετάβαση σε Mesh σε μία συσκευή. Αυτό που στην πράξη διαφοροποιεί την AVM είναι ότι δεν πουλά απλώς ένα router, αλλά μια πλατφόρμα που μπορεί να εξελιχθεί μαζί με το σπίτι ή το γραφείο σου, χωρίς να χρειάζεται να αλλάξεις ολόκληρο το setup όταν αυξηθούν οι ανάγκες.
