The
WiFly GSX module is a complete ultra
low power embedded TCP/IP solution. The
WiFly GSX module is a stand alone,
embedded wireless 802.11b/g networking
module. Because of its small form factor
and extremely low power consumption, the
RN-131G is perfect for mobile wireless
applications such as asset monitoring,
GPS tracking and battery sensors.
The
combination of ultra low power and the
ability to wake up, connect to a
wireless network, send data and return
to sleep mode in less than 100
milliseconds, allows the WiFly GSX to
run for years on two standard AAA
batteries. Using only 100mWatts
when awake and 10uWatts when asleep,
this remarkable power efficiency makes
possible a new class of internet enabled
products.
The
WiFly GSX module incorporates a 2.4GHz
radio, processor, TCP/IP stack,
real-time clock, crypto accelerator,
power management and analog sensor
interfaces. This complete solution is
preloaded with software to simplify
integration and minimizes development of
your application. In the simplest
configuration the hardware only requires
four connections (PWR, TX,RX, GND) to
create a wireless data connection. The
transmit range can be up to 330' (100m),
depending upon environmental
considerations.
Developers
will want to use the RN-131G-EVAL
evaluation board for prototyping and
designing there WiFly GSX systems.
The RN-131G-EVAL kit includes the
RN-131G module mounted on a carrier
board with status LEDS, power regulation
and a serial link to a PC computer.
