Raspberry Pi 3 model B+

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has perfected the very popular Raspberry Pi version 3! The version has been given the name 'Raspberry Pi version 3 model B+', is twice as fast as its predecessor, with faster network, and in addition to bluetooth and 2.4Ghz Wifi, also has 5Ghz Wifi! Below are the various advantages in a row:

- 2 times as fast as the Raspberry Pi 3, so 20 times as fast as the first version Raspberry Pi!
- Gigabit Ethernet (of which 300 Mbps maximum attainable, 3 times faster than its predecessor)
- Extra cooling on the processor, so that it no longer gets hot at all
- Special Wifi/Bluetooth antenna from Proant AB, so that better range is achieved

The v3 B+ is also ready for PoE, so power via the network. A separate HAT module is still required for this.

What is the Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a very interesting article, especially for hobbyists and programmers, and it is also increasingly being used for educational purposes. The device was initially made to teach primary school students to program; therefore anyone can use it.

You can also use the Raspberry Pi perfectly for continuous use, such as a Domotica server, as a Narrowcasting player, network-wide ad-blocker, for using webcams, or sending alarms for when, for example, the washing machine has finished washing. (you need additional electronics for this). Or of course as a Kodi media player.
