I. Industry Transformation: The Dual Waves of Xinchuang and Industrial Control Are Reshaping the Wireless Module Landscape
In 2026, China's wireless module industry stands at an unprecedented historical juncture.
The Xinchuang (Information Technology Application Innovation) industry is undergoing a critical transition from “pilot demonstration” to “large-scale implementation.” According to forecasts from institutions including DYXinsheng, China's Xinchuang market size is expected to reach RMB 2.66 trillion in 2026, with a year-on-year growth rate of 26.82% —making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in the digital economy. At the policy level, the target for SOEs to complete comprehensive Xinchuang replacement by 2027 remains unchanged. Starting in 2026, core business procurement for Xinchuang in party and government agencies must account for no less than 85%, and no less than 65% for state-owned enterprises. Eight key industries—including finance, telecommunications, and energy—are required to achieve 100% domestic database replacement by 2027. Domestic replacement of office scenarios in party and government agencies nationwide has been essentially completed, and Xinchuang transformation is now rolling out across critical sectors including finance, energy, transportation, healthcare, and education.
At the same time, the wave of domestic substitution in the industrial control market is equally powerful. According to industry reports from sources including China Industrial Control Network, the domestic industrial control market surpassed RMB 300 billion in 2025. The localization rate of industrial control in critical sectors—including power, rail transit, new energy, and government affairs—has exceeded 72%, and Xinchuang-compliant industrial control equipment has become the preferred choice for government and enterprise projects.
However, one critical issue has long been overlooked: the “wireless connectivity” link for Xinchuang devices and industrial control equipment has consistently been the weak point in domestic substitution. After CPUs, operating systems, databases, and other core software and hardware have successively achieved domestic production, the ability to conduct high-speed, stable, and secure wireless data exchange with the outside world—this seemingly basic “connectivity” capability—has long relied on imported Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules. This “connectivity” chip is precisely the “last piece of the puzzle” for Xinchuang device wireless connectivity.
It is against this backdrop that the emergence of the Wuqi WQ9201B chip solution, combined with the module product deployment by QOGRISYS based on this chip, provides a complete solution for domestic wireless connectivity in the Xinchuang and industrial control sectors.
The industrialization path of the Wuqi WQ9201 is clear and well-documented. In October 2023, Wuqi officially announced the launch of its first 2×2 dual-band high-performance data-transmission Wi-Fi 6 + BT Combo chip, the WQ9201. In 2024, the WQ9201 entered the mass production stage.
On November 7, 2024, the WQ9201 achieved a milestone breakthrough. At the 2024 China Microelectronics Industry Promotion Conference and the 19th “China Chip” Award Ceremony, the Wuqi high-performance Wi-Fi 6 chip WQ9201—with its stable transmission performance and industry-leading low-power consumption—stood out from 364 products submitted by 280 chip companies to win the 2024 “China Chip” Excellent Technology Innovation Product Award. The “China Chip” Excellent Product Collection campaign is guided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and hosted by the China Center for Information Industry Development (CCID) , making it one of the most influential and authoritative industry events in China’s integrated circuit sector.
On July 20, 2026, the WQ9201B chip solution was officially launched on mainstream component marketplaces. The iCEasy marketplace officially listed the Wuqi WQ9201B Wi-Fi 6 wireless network card chip solution, featuring 2×2 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.4 dual-mode design, supporting PCIe/USB dual interfaces, and having completed adaptation for two major domestic operating systems—UnionTech UOS and KylinOS. This marks the WQ9201B solution’s transition from chip launch to open market availability—completing the critical leap from “lab product” to “shelf product.”
On June 29, 2026, Wuqi Microelectronics’ STAR Market IPO application was accepted. This capital-market milestone further confirms the market’s recognition of Wuqi’s technological strength and commercial prospects.
The Wuqi WQ9201B is a 2×2 dual-band high-performance data-transmission Wi-Fi 6 + BT Combo chip, and its technical specifications represent the highest level of domestic Wi-Fi chips.
In terms of Wi-Fi performance, the chip supports the full IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax protocol suite, supports 2.4GHz + 5GHz dual-band concurrent (DBDC) , with a physical layer peak rate of up to 1.2Gbps, bandwidth support of 5/10/20/40/80MHz, and support for OFDMA, 2×2 uplink/downlink MU-MIMO, and beamforming technologies. In multi-device industrial environments, these technologies can effectively reduce network congestion and improve communication efficiency.
For Bluetooth, the WQ9201B supports the Bluetooth 5.4 protocol, is compatible with BT/BLE dual-mode and BLE Audio, and supports intelligent and flexible Wi-Fi/BT coexistence strategies.
In terms of interface and platform compatibility, the chip supports PCIe 2.0/USB 2.0/SDIO 3.0 three interfaces, and is compatible with X86, ARM, and domestic CPU platforms. The operating temperature range covers -20°C to 85°C, meeting industrial-grade standards.
On critical RF metrics, the WQ9201B has reached the level of major international manufacturers, particularly achieving breakthroughs on technically challenging indicators such as RX EVM and Rx Sensitivity.
First, self-developed RISC-V architecture enables core independent control. The WQ9201 adopts Wuqi’s self-developed high-performance RISC-V multi-core CPU, featuring an innovative “2+1+1” architecture—integrating two high-performance RISC-V cores and one low-power core. All chips are designed based on the RISC-V open-source architecture, with completely independent and controllable core IP, achieving freedom from dependence on traditional closed-source architectures at the processor core level. Wuqi is one of the very few domestic communications companies with independent R&D capabilities for both Wi-Fi 6/7 STA and AP chips.
Second, breakthrough low-power technology. The WQ9201 integrates Wuqi’s proprietary low-power CMOS PA technology. The self-developed PA architecture reduces power consumption by 30%–40% compared to the current industry mainstream level, with the breakthrough self-developed PA architecture further reducing consumption by 60% , saving 1W of power in typical application scenarios. Official information from Wuqi Microelectronics indicates that at 20MHz bandwidth, its power consumption is less than half that of Qualcomm’s next-generation chips. This metric directly impacts the power supply circuit design and thermal system costs of terminal devices.
Third, dual-band concurrent architecture and multi-scenario adaptability. Based on Wuqi’s self-developed RF dual-band architecture, the WQ9201 supports multiple concurrent modes including STA+AP, STA+P2P GO, and STA+P2P GC. A single chip can simultaneously assume multiple network roles, significantly reducing system design complexity.
The core logic of the Xinchuang industry is “independent and controllable, safe and reliable.” Over the past several years, domestic CPUs (Phytium, Loongson, Hygon, Zhaoxin, etc.), domestic operating systems (UnionTech UOS, KylinOS, etc.), and domestic databases (Dameng, Renda Jincang, etc.) have gradually built a complete foundational Xinchuang software and hardware system.
However, the wireless connectivity capability of Xinchuang devices has long relied on imported chips—whether laptops, tablets, industrial control terminals, or various smart devices, their Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules mostly use solutions from foreign or overseas manufacturers such as Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Realtek. This creates a significant security gap in the Xinchuang industry chain.
The differentiating value of the WQ9201B lies precisely here. The chip has completed deep adaptation for two major domestic operating systems—UnionTech UOS and KylinOS. This means terminal devices based on this chip can run directly on domestic operating systems without additional driver development and compatibility debugging. This adaptation clears the last ecosystem barrier for large-scale commercial deployment of Xinchuang devices.
Demand for wireless communication modules in the industrial control sector is growing rapidly. Wi-Fi 6 is becoming the upgrade direction for industrial wireless—compared to traditional Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 improves multi-device simultaneous communication capabilities through technologies such as OFDMA and MU-MIMO, effectively reducing network congestion and improving communication efficiency in device-intensive industrial environments.
Industrial control scenarios impose unique and stringent requirements on wireless modules: wide-temperature operation (industrial environments have large temperature fluctuations), high reliability (no tolerance for frequent disconnections), interference resistance (factories have numerous electromagnetic interference sources), and long lifecycles (industrial equipment has long replacement cycles, requiring chip solutions with sustained supply assurance).
The WQ9201B’s operating temperature range covers -20°C to 85°C, meeting industrial-grade standards. Its built-in high-efficiency power amplifier (PA/LNA) and intelligent Wi-Fi/BT coexistence strategy ensure stable transmission in complex electromagnetic environments. The PCIe interface delivers peak rates of up to 1000Mbps, meeting industrial big-data transmission requirements, while supporting 802.11k/v/r fast roaming for mobile terminal scenarios.
Against the backdrop of the industrial control domestic substitution rate already exceeding 72% , the domestic substitution of wireless connectivity modules for industrial control equipment is the next inevitable direction. The WQ9201B solution’s industrial-grade specifications and fully domestic attributes make it an ideal choice for domestic industrial control wireless modules.
The value of a chip is ultimately realized through modules. From a chip to a mass-producible module involves a series of engineering challenges: RF design, antenna matching, power optimization, driver development, system adaptation, reliability testing, and more. This is precisely the core value proposition of professional module solution providers.
QOGRISYS, as a professional module solution provider, has worked closely with Wuqi to develop a full series of Wuqi-based modules. Two core modules based on the WQ9201B chip—the O9201PB and the O9201PM—address different application scenarios, forming a complete product matrix.

The WQ9201B solution is not停留在 paper—it has already achieved large-scale commercial deployment across multiple sectors. The Wuqi high-performance Wi-Fi 6 chip WQ9201 has been adopted in multiple China Mobile set-top box models, achieving stable mass-market supply. Additionally, products have achieved volume shipments across multiple sectors including network cameras, cloud PCs, and wireless access points, successfully gaining adoption from brands including China Mobile, Ruijie Networks, Honor, and Tianyi Vision Link (China Telecom) .
QOGRISYS, as a module solution provider, plays a critical role in these deployment cases—by converting Wuqi chips into standardized, mass-producible module products, significantly reducing the development barriers and time-to-market cycles for terminal equipment manufacturers.
The combination of the WQ9201B chip solution and QOGRISYS module products constitutes a complete closed loop for domestic wireless connectivity in the Xinchuang and industrial control sectors:
Chip layer: Wuqi provides self-developed RISC-V architecture Wi-Fi 6 chips, achieving independent and controllable core IP
Module layer: QOGRISYS converts chips into standardized, mass-producible modules, lowering terminal development barriers
System layer: Completed adaptation for UnionTech UOS and KylinOS, achieving seamless integration with the Xinchuang ecosystem
Application layer: Achieved large-scale deployment in set-top boxes, industrial control machines, wireless access points, and other sectors
The establishment of this closed loop means that Xinchuang devices no longer need to be forced to use imported Wi-Fi modules under a “domestic CPU + domestic OS” configuration. The “last piece of the puzzle” for wireless connectivity is being put in place.
Against the backdrop of ongoing fluctuations in the global semiconductor supply chain, the strategic value of fully domestic wireless modules is significantly amplified. Devices built with domestic chips not only offer excellent cost-performance and stable product quality but, more importantly, full domestic production ensures supply chain security and reduces constraints from external factors.
From an industry perspective, the launch of the WQ9201 breaks the long-standing monopoly of foreign manufacturers in the high-end Wi-Fi 6 market. The chip fills multiple technical gaps in the domestic high-end Wi-Fi 6 chip field. As one of the few companies in mainland China capable of mass-producing Wi-Fi 6 AP chips, Wuqi is driving the domestic Wi-Fi chip industry from “follower” to “parallel runner.”
The combination of the Wuqi WQ9201B chip solution and QOGRISYS module products is playing a critical role in “completing the last piece of the puzzle” across two high-value markets: Xinchuang and industrial control.
From a timeline perspective, the industrialization path of the WQ9201 is clear and solid: October 2023—chip launch; September 2024—China Mobile product compatibility certification; November 2024—winner of the “China Chip” Excellent Technology Innovation Product Award; late 2024—adopted in China Mobile set-top boxes with volume shipments; June 2026—STAR Market IPO application accepted; July 2026—chip solution launched on the open market. This series of milestones constitutes a complete evolutionary trajectory from technological breakthrough to market validation to large-scale commercialization.
From a technology and product perspective, the WQ9201B has achieved independent breakthroughs in core technologies including 2×2 dual-band concurrency, self-developed RISC-V architecture, and low-power PA, with key metrics reaching the level of major international manufacturers. The O9201PB and O9201PM modules developed by QOGRISYS based on this chip cover two major scenarios—compact devices and high-performance applications—completing the industrialization deployment from chip to module.
From a market and industry perspective, this solution precisely targets two high-value tracks—Xinchuang (RMB 2.66 trillion market) and industrial control (RMB 300 billion market)—and has completed domestic operating system adaptation and key industry customer adoption. This “chip + module” combination is completing the “last piece of the puzzle” for Xinchuang device wireless connectivity, driving the domestic Wi-Fi chip industry from “follower” to “parallel runner.”
In 2026—as Xinchuang substitution enters its sprint phase and industrial control domestic substitution accelerates—the domestic wireless connectivity solution represented by the Wuqi WQ9201B and QOGRISYS modules is becoming an indispensable link in China’s independent and controllable industry chain.
