1 Introduction to RS9116

The OneBox-Mobile(refers to single software providing combo of all the features supported) software supports the

following modes. They are outlined below:

• Wi-Fi (Access Point, Client, Wi-Fi-Direct (P2P), Sniffer and Monitor modes)

• Bluetooth Low Energy

• 802.15.4 Compatibility

The OneBox-Mobile Coexistence software supports the following combination of modes. They are as follows:

• WLAN STATION /WIFI-Direct/WLAN PER

• WLAN ACCESS POINT(including muliple APs on different vaps)

• WLAN ACCESS POINT + STATION MODE(on multiple vaps)

• WAKE ON WIRELESS(WOWLAN)

• BT LE MODE /BT LE PER MODE

• WLAN STATION + BT LE MODE      
