RN4871 – New Bluetooth® Version 4.2 LE Modules
The RN4871 is one of the smallest Bluetooth 4.2 Low-Energy module from Microchip, measuring just 9 x 11.5 x 2.1 mm.
This fully-integrated module is designed for easy implementation into a broad range of applications. Supporting the latest Bluetooth standard, it delivers up to 2.5x throughput improvement and more secure connections vs. Bluetooth 4.1 based products.
With the ASCII Command Interface API, developers can easily interface to the device via a standard UART interface. The RN4871 has a completely integrated Bluetooth software stack, and offers a shielded regulatory certified version with built-in antenna. Developers are freed from the complexities of Bluetooth Software and RF development and can simply utilize the RN4871 as a wireline replacement. Perfect for IoT (Internet of Things) applications, when interfaced to a BLE enabled smartphone or Bluetooth Internet Gateway, applications can be monitored, controlled and updated from anywhere in the world.
The RN4871 is certified according to FCC, IC and CE and has even further approvals for Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
