The RN-XV WiFly module by Roving Networks (now Microchip) is a certified Wi-Fi solution designed as a drop-in replacement for XBee modules. It uses the standard 802.15.4 XBee footprint, so you can migrate existing XBee-based projects to TCP/IP Wi-Fi without redesigning your hardware.

Based on the RN-171 Wi-Fi module, the RN-XV integrates an 802.11 b/g radio, 32-bit processor, full TCP/IP stack, real-time clock, and crypto accelerator. In the simplest configuration, only four connections are needed: PWR, TX, RX, and GND.

Key Features

  • XBee-Compatible Footprint – Drop-in replacement for 802.15.4 XBee modules
  • Ultra Low Power – 4 μA sleep mode, 38 mA active
  • Full TCP/IP Stack – DHCP, UDP, DNS, ARP, ICMP, HTTP client, FTP client, and TCP
  • Configurable TX Power – 0 dBm to 12 dBm
  • RP-SMA Antenna Connector – For external antenna use
  • Real-Time Clock – Supports time-stamping, auto-sleep, and auto-wakeup
