802.11 n Wi-Fi Tower System Module




The TWR-WIFI-RS2101 peripheral module enables easy-to-use 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity for your application development using the Tower System. This FCC-certified module comes with complimentary MQX software and enables you to quickly go from the lab to production with the same Wi-Fi hardware.
The on-board RS9110-N-11-21 Connection™ Wi-Fi module from Redpine Signals features embedded firmware to provide a self-contained 802.11n WLAN solution for a variety of applications. This peripheral module is designed to be combined and used with other microcontroller and peripheral modules in the Tower System.
The RS9110-N-11-21 module from Redpine's Connect-io-n™ family of products is a complete IEEE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi client device with a standard serial or SPI interface to a host processor or data source. It integrates a MAC, Baseband processor, RF transceiver with power amplifier, a frequency reference, an antenna, and all WLAN protocol and configuration functionality in embedded firmware to provide a self-contained 802.11n WLAN solution for a variety of applications. No WLAN driver functionality is required on the host processor. Based on the Redpine Signals RS9110 SoC which includes an embedded processor, it is designed to provide standards compliant wireless connectivity to devices and systems that have a serial port and implement a TCP/IP stack. As a wireless serial modem, the RS9110-N-11-21 handles SLIP packets and accepts AT commands for configuration, enabling a variety of M2M applications at low cost and small footprint. It uniquely provides connectivity in the single stream 802.11n mode, preserving overall network throughput in the emerging enterprise environments.
Key Applications: Automotive, Connectivity, Industrial, Medical/Health Care, Networking.
