RN-131G
- 802.11 b/g Ultra low power, surface mount module
- Part#: RN-131G
The WiFly GSX module is a complete, ultra low power embedded TCP/IP solution. The WiFly GSX module is a stand alone, embedded wireless 802.11 b/g networking module.
The combination of ultra low power, and the ability to wake up, connect to a wireless network, send data, and return to sleep mode in less than 100 milliseconds, allows the WiFly GSX to run for years on two standard AAA batteries. Using only 100mW when awake and 10uW when asleep, this remarkable power efficiency makes possible a new class of internet-enabled products.
The WiFly GSX module incorporates a 2.4GHz radio, processor, TCP/IP stack, real-time clock, crypto accelerator, power management, and analog sensor interfaces. This complete solution is preloaded with software to simplify integration and minimize development time for applications. In the simplest configuration, the hardware only requires four connections (PWR, TX, RX, GND) to create a wireless data connection. The transmit range can be up to 330' (100m), depending upon environmental considerations.
Developers will want to use the RN-131G-EVAL evaluation board for prototyping and designing their WiFly GSX systems. The RN-131G-EVAL kit includes the RN-131G module mounted on a carrier board with status LEDs, power regulation, and a serial link to a PC.
The RN-131G is rated for industrial operating temperatures -30C to +85C. The RN-131C has all the features and capabilities of the RN-131G, but is rated for commercial temperature (0C to +70C). The RN-131C is the perfect choice for those looking for a complete, low power, lower cost WiFi module.
