The RN-42 is perfect for short range, battery powered applications.  The RN-42 uses only 26uA in sleep mode while still being discoverable and connectable.  Multiple user configurable power modes allow the user to dial in the lowest power profile for a given application.

Supporting multiple Bluetooth profiles such as SPP and HID and simple UART hardware interface, it is simple to integrate into an embedded system or simply connect to an existing device.  The RN-42 is FCC and Bluetooth SIG certified making it a complete embedded Bluetooth solution.

The RN-42 also comes in a package with no antenna (RN-42-N). Useful when the application requires an external antenna, the RN-42-N is shorter in length and has RF pads to route the antenna signal.

The RN-42 is the perfect product for engineers adding Bluetooth capability to their product without spending significant time and money developing Bluetooth specific hardware and software.
