RN171XVW-I/RM

_Provides Drop-In, Certified Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Connectivity for Existing Systems Currently Designed for 802.15.4 Modules_ 

## RNXV Bluetooth®/Wi-Fi® Modules 

## Summary 

The RNXV modules by Microchip provide drop-in, certified Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity for existing systems using 802.15.4 modules. Based on the popular 2 × 10 (2 mm) footprint often found in embedded applications, the RNXV offers a complete wireless solution for customers looking to migrate to a standard protocol without modifying existing hardware. 

RN171XVW 

The RN171XV Wi-Fi module is built upon Microchip’s RN171 ultra-low power 802.11 b/g technology which boasts a complete onboard TCP/IP stack with a simple UART interface. The onboard stack offers network services including full WEP/WPA/WPA2 security, FTP/ HTTP client, UDP, TCP, HTTP, Telnet, DNS, DHCP, and Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) amongst others. It supports infrastructure networking, Ad hoc connectivity, and SoftAP. 

The RN41XV and RN42XV modules are built upon Microchip’s RN41 and RN42 low power Bluetooth modules. The modules have an embedded Bluetooth stack and support multiple profiles including the commonly used SPP and HID profiles. The RN42 and RN41 are functionally compatible with high-performance, onboard antennas and support for Bluetooth EDR. 

## Development Tools 

## RNXV Evaluation Kit with UART to USB Connector and Module Socket (RN-XV-EK1) 

Microchip offers several development tools for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi RNXV modules such as the RN-XV-EK1, an evaluation kit that connects to a PC via a standard USB cable. It has 2 pushbutton switches and connectors for the RNXV.
