Microchip Technology RN1810 Wi-Fi® Module

Microchip Technology RN1810 Wi-Fi® Module is an ultra-low power, 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n surface mount module. The RN1810 small provides a complete Wi-Fi solution with on-board TCP/IP networking stack, cryptographic accelerator, power management subsystem, real-time clock, 2.4GHz transceiver and integrated RF power amplifier. This device is fully-certified, freeing the designer from RF design regulatory compliance testing, providing a faster time to market. The RN1810 is configured with a simple ASCII command language which speeds up prototyping and shortens development time. In the simplest configuration, the module requires only power, ground, and UART Tx and Rx connections.

The RN1810 includes an integrated PCB trace antenna. The RN1810E variant features an ultra-small W.FL connector for an external antenna
