Description
This Raspberry Pi 3 B+ has 15% better performance than its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 3 B. Despite the upgrade, the RPi 3 B+ is still compatible with the RPi 3 B, 2 and B+.
Improvements over Raspberry Pi 3 Model B:
- Dual band Wireless connectivity 802.11ac (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz)
- Improved power performance
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled
- New Ethernet controller
Dual band Wireless connectivity 802.11ac (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz)
- Increased connection speed and bandwidth
- Greater range when connected to the 5 GHz channel
- Backward compatibility within applications
- Improved streaming HD video over WiFi
- Increased effectiveness as a wireless access point
Improved power performance
- Enabling the core processor to operate faster (4x1.4 GHz)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled
- PoE operation requires the purchase of the new PoE HAT which will be available at launch.
- Without being tethered to an electrical outlet, the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ can be located wherever it is needed most, and repositioned easily if required up to a range of 100 m.
- Having power available over a network means that installation and distribution of network of Raspberry Pi’s becomes simpler and more effective.
New Ethernet controller
- 3 x Ethernet speed of the current Raspberry Pi 3 B (~300 Mbps)
- Faster network data transfer
