Radxa Zero 3E: Affordable Single-Board Computer with Ethernet, No WiFi
Radxa has unveiled a new single-board computer called the Radxa Zero 3E, which is similar to its previously released Radxa Zero 3W model but with a few key differences. Unlike the 3W, the 3E does not support WiFi and Bluetooth but instead features a Gigabit Ethernet port. This means that users can expect a more reliable network connection and faster speeds, as the 3E supports 1 Gbps speeds compared to the 3W’s limited 802.11n speeds of up to 450 Mbps. However, the inclusion of the Ethernet port means that the 3E does not have a wireless chip or optional onboard eMMC storage.
