Interface for Murata 339S00458?

The teardown indicates the Mac mini 2018 ships with the Murata 339S00458 for 802.11ax/BT 5.0.

I’m considering using it for a PC build. In the Mac mini’s case, the chip is soldered onto the logic board. My hope is to learn, what if any interfaces it might be available for ‘regular’ vanilla PCs. PCI? M.2? Something else?

Been checking murata.com but nothing helpful so far.

If you can share any knowledge, thanks :)

Not sure I understand the desire to use this chip over a proper solution for your PC logic board.

This is a BGA chip so you would need to design a circuit board to support it and add in the needed peripheral componentry to make it work into the interface you are looking at. While it would be a fun project the cost would be out of scale given how much a proper WiFi/BT board would cost.

Thanks Dan, that’s helpful!

Basically I’m interested in making the job of 801.11ax/BT 5.0 support as easy as possible. I don’t want to futz with 3rd party kexts, if at all possible, which is why I’m looking to use the same hardware as the Mac mini.

Would you know of some alternative “proper solution” that can do that?

So you're trying to create your own hackintosh system.

Apple has moved to chips in all of the newer systems. This is the last AirPort board Apple has used in their systems: 661-07505 from the for 2017 21.5/27" iMac's. Its only 802.11ac x2 MIMO and Bluetooth 5.0.

I see, thanks Dan.

Seems like things have never been more difficult for builders. From what it sounds like the T2 is poised to swing even more in this direction.

@paws - I wouldn't link the T2 into this as that's for a very different reason which I do agree with! The T2 design had two functions: offer faster storage as well as offer a secure storage solution with phone home ability (like your iPhone).

What Apple failed to do is think about extendable storage which was possible with the older MacBook Pro's. IF I was big Tim I would have added a M.2 SSD slot so a second drive could be used (standards based)

WiFi & Bluetooth services gets tricky in a laptop. With space limitations a chip design makes sense. I do agree its dumb going to that level in a desktop unless its like the Mac mini which I classify as a headless laptop!

Unless I'm misunderstanding, which is entirely possible, T2's scope appears to include more than storage & security. The T2 has already supplanted Intel's chip(s) for at least one power rail used at boot.
