Raspberry Pi 3 B+

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
