RN1723-I/RM100

The RN1723 is a stand-alone, embedded 802.11 b/g Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) module. The module incorporates an on-board TCP/IP networking stack, cryptographic accelerator, power management subsystem, real-time clock, versatile sensor interface, 2.4 GHz transceiver, and RF power amplifier. With the RN1723, designers can embed Wi-Fi and networking functionality rapidly into virtually any device.
The RN1723 provides cost and time-to-market savings as a self-contained, Internet-enabling solution. The module has been designed to provide designers with a simple Wi-Fi solution that features: • Ease of integration and programming • Vastly reduced development time • Minimum system cost • Long battery life • Maximum value in a range of applications
The RN1723 is configured with a simple ASCII command language. The “WiFly Command Reference, Advanced Features and Applications User's Guide” (DS50002230), which is available contains a complete listing and instructions of the ASCII command interface
In the simplest configuration, the module requires only power, ground, and UART Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) connections. The RN1723 module can interface to low-cost microcontrollers using only two wires, UART TX and RX.
The RN1723 has a versatile sensor interface that can be used to monitor analog signals such as temperature, audio, motion, and acceleration.
The module has a small form factor, which makes it easy to integrate. Additionally, the module is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.
The RN1723 is ideal for a vast range of applications that require long battery life, moderate processing power, moderate data throughput and occasional Wi-Fi connectivity, such as: • Real-Time Locationing Systems (RTLS) • Industrial and home automation • Health and fitness monitoring • Telemetry • Security
Additionally, the module is perfect for mobile wireless applications, such as asset monitoring and sensors.
