    Higher resolutions are possible but require care in their setup and design. The ConnectCore 9C/Wi-9C module operates at 155 MHz system bus speed. This Formula speed grade results in 310 MBps bus bandwidth, as the bus is 4 bytes wide. For bandwidth planning, this maximum bandwidth must be reduced to account for overhead and read/write switching.
