RN42XV Bluetooth Replacement for 802.15.4 System
The RN42XV module by Roving Networks provides drop-in, certified Bluetooth connectivity for existing systems using 802.15.4 modules.
Based on the popular 2 x 10 (2mm) socket footprint often found in embedded applications, the RN42XV offers a complete wireless solution for customers looking to migrate to a standard protocol without modifying existing hardware.
The RN42XV Class 2 Bluetooth module is based on the RN42. This module supports multiple interface protocols, is simple to design in, and is fully certified, making it a complete embedded Bluetooth solution. With its high-performance, on-chip antenna and support for Bluetooth EDR, the RN42 delivers up to a 3 Mbps data rate for distances up to 20 meters.
The RN42XV is available in 2 antenna options:
- PCB trace antenna onboard the module (RN42XVP-I/RM)
- U.FL connector for external antenna (RN42XVU-I/RM)
Features:
- Fully certified Bluetooth® module, supports version 2.1 + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR)
- Backwards-compatible with Bluetooth version 2.0, 1.2, and 1.1
