Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules

14 May 2014 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The RNXV module by Roving Networks (acquired by Microchip Technology) provides drop-in, certified Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity for existing systems using 802.15.4 modules.

Based on the popular 2 x 10 (2 mm) socket footprint often found in embedded applications, the device offers a complete wireless solution for designers looking to migrate to a standard protocol without modifying existing hardware.

The RN171XV Wi-Fi module is built upon Roving’s RN171 ultra-low power 802.11 b/g technology which boasts a complete onboard TCP/IP stack with a simple UART interface. The onboard stack offers network services including full WEP/WPA/WPA2 security, FTP/HTTP client, UDP, TCP, HTTP, Telnet, DNS, and DHCP and Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS), amongst others. It supports infrastructure networking, AdHoc connectivity and SoftAP.

The RN41XV and RN42XV modules are built upon Roving’s RN41 and RN42 low-power Bluetooth modules. They have an embedded Bluetooth stack and support multiple interface protocols and profiles, including the commonly used SPP and HID profiles. The RN42 and RN41 are functionally compatible with high-performance, onboard antennas and support for Bluetooth EDR.
