What Could Apple’s Network Adapter Be Used For?

The question remains as to what this network adapter really is and whether Apple will launch an updated version of its AirPort with technology that makes it ready to compete in 2022? Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The frequencies noted by the FCC include 13.56-megahertz and three ranges between 2.4 and 2.5-gigahertz. The former is for NFC (Near-Field Communication) and the latter for Wi-Fi using the older and slower 2.4-gigahertz frequencies.
This implies it probably won’t be a consumer-oriented device. Instead, it might serve a particular purpose at Apple Stores or in its offices. 2.4-gigahertz can penetrate walls better than 5-gigahertz frequencies and is sometimes better suited to offices than within homes. The inclusion of USB-C in one version and a Lightning port in another indicates use with Apple mobile devices, such as the iPhone and iPad, which could facilitate testing and repair. While an interesting find, this FCC document probably doesn’t foretell the return of Apple’s AirPort line in 2022.
