Microchip Technology RN1723 Wireless LAN Module

Microchip Technology RN1723 Wireless LAN (WLAN) Module is a stand-alone, embedded 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi® module that incorporates an onboard TCP/IP networking stack. It also incorporates a cryptographic accelerator, power management subsystem, real-time clock, versatile sensor interface, 2.4GHz transceiver, and RF power amplifier. Embed Wi-Fi and networking functionality rapidly into virtually any device with the RN1723.

The Microchip Technology RN1723 is a self-contained, Internet-enabling solution that provides cost and time-to-market savings. It's designed to provide a simple Wi-Fi solution with features like ease of integration and programming, vastly reduced development time, minimum system cost, long battery life and maximum value in a range of applications.

The RN1723 is configured with a simple ASCII command language. The "WiFly Command Reference Guide" contains a complete listing and instructions of the ASCII command interface.

NOTE: The RN1723 Wireless LAN Module is NOT compliant with the RED Directive EN 300 328 v2.2.2 standard. This device is not recommended for use in countries that require this standard.
