Specifications

Core hardware

Module: Realtek BW16 dual-band Wi-Fi module, 2.4GHz + 5GHz, 802.11 a/b/g/n
Function: 802.11 deauthentication frame injection on both bands; the maker stresses 5GHz reach that ESP32/ESP8266 tools cannot provide
Form factor and power: Compact, pocket-sized (exact size varies per batch); USB-C 5V, compatible with standard power banks. No display, battery or onboard storage listed

BW16 vs ESP32

Why BW16: ESP32/ESP8266 radios physically cannot transmit on 5GHz; the Realtek BW16 is one of the few compact dual-band modules, so it can reach 5GHz-only and dual-band networks
Availability of BW16 gear: The maker describes BW16 hardware as limited and 'growing' in community docs, versus mass-produced, well-documented ESP32 builds

Availability

How to get one: Hand-assembled small batches, tested before shipping; no checkout or public price. Request via the manually reviewed 'Request Order' form
Included items: BW16 5GHz Deauther unit, USB-C cable, and basic usage documentation

What still needs checking

The maker states dimensions vary per batch and does not publish a price, weight, display or battery details.
Availability is by manually reviewed inquiry and varies by batch and region.
We reviewed the maker's own pages only; we did not handle or bench-test a unit.

Source & revision notes

Maker listing checked Sep 30, 2026. Detailed documentation reviewed Sep 30, 2026. Not hands-on tested.

Specs were read from the SigBin Labs product page, FAQ and 5GHz-deauther blog post on 2026-09-30. The maker lists a Realtek BW16 module, 2.4GHz + 5GHz support, 802.11 deauthentication frame injection, a compact 'pocket-sized' body and USB-C power; it states the exact size varies per batch and lists no display, battery or onboard storage.

Status is 'Availability unconfirmed' rather than 'listed': hand-assembled small batches, no published price, no checkout; ordering is by manually reviewed 'Request Order' inquiry and availability varies by batch and region.

For authorized research and lawful testing only: the maker says do not use it on networks you do not own or have explicit permission to test, and reserves the right to decline any order.
