The RN131 module incorporates a 2.4 GHz radio, processor, full TCP/IP stack, real-time clock, and supports the FTP client, DHCP, DNS, and HTML client protocols. The module supports ad hoc and infrastructure networking modes along with SoftAP mode. <br /> <br /> The RN131 module is programmed and controlled from a console with a simple ASCII command language. Once the configuration is set up, the module can automatically scan to find an access point, associate, authenticate, and connect over any Wi-Fi network. Additionally, the module can automatically wake up, send data to a remote host, and go back to a low-power sleep state.</p> <p><strong>Key Applications: </strong>Embedded Applications</p> </div> <h3

The RN131 module incorporates a 2.4 GHz radio, processor, full TCP/IP stack, real-time clock, and supports the FTP client, DHCP, DNS, and HTML client protocols. The module supports ad hoc and infrastructure networking modes along with SoftAP mode. <br /> <br /> The RN131 module is programmed and controlled from a console with a simple ASCII command language. Once the configuration is set up, the module can automatically scan to find an access point, associate, authenticate, and connect over any Wi-Fi network. Additionally, the module can automatically wake up, send data to a remote host, and go back to a low-power sleep state.</p> <p><strong>Key Applications: </strong>Embedded Applications</p> </div> <h3

applications. It has the flexibility to connect directly to a PC via a standard USB interface or to embedded processors through the TTL/UART interface. The board also includes 2 convenient push buttons for controlling both SoftAP and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) mode without software configuration. The status LEDs and jumpers enable rapid prototyping and integration into existing systems. <br /> <br /> The RN-131-EK supports the evaluation of projects planning to use the RN131 module.
