| 94 | | GW640x and GW630x can have their J9 slot can be replaced with PCI-e Expansion adapter, contact !sales@gateworks.com for details. Attaching a GW16081 at that site allows 9 radios can be populated using these boards, 7 on mezzanine 2 on board. |

| 96 | | A limiting factor when using Ventana was the address space, Newport has a much larger address space therefore allowing numerous modern devices to be working simultaniously. For a test 9x GW17032 (WLE900VX, ATH9k) radios were brought up as access points. This configuration can be achieved very simply using the following steps. |

| | 97 | The Newport GW640x and GW630x are ideal SBCs for implementing high radio count access points due to their support of a large amount of PCI memory address space. The bottom right Mini-PCIe slot can be replaced with a PCI-e Expansion connector allowing the GW16081 Mini-PCIe Expansion Mezzanine to be stacked with the board. |
| | 98 | |
| | 99 | With the GW6400 up to 10 radios can be supported (3 on GW6400 + 7 on GW16081). With the GW6300 up to 9 radios can be supported (2 on GW6300 + 7 on GW16081). For even higher radio count applications a special version of the GW16081 is available with an additional stacking connector allowing up to 3 GW16081's to be stacked with the CPU board. This would allow up to 21 radios with the GW6300 and 22 radios with a GW6400. |

| | 101 | Note the GW16081 also supports USB signaling to the Mini-PCIe sites so a combination of WiFi and Cellular radios could be used with these configurations. |

| | 103 | As an example, Gateworks compined a GW6300 plus GW16081 with 9x GW17032 (WLE900VX, ATH10k) radios. Each radio then was configured as an access points. This configuration can be achieved very simply using the following steps. |
