Overview:
The RS9113 modules’ family is based on Redpine Signals’ RS9113 ultra-low-power Convergence SoC. These modules offer dual-band 1x1 802.11n, dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 and ZigBee 802.15.4 in a single device. They are high performance, long range and ultra-low power modules and include a multi-threaded MAC processor called ThreadArch®, digital and analog peripheral interfaces, baseband digital signal processor, calibration OTP memory, dual-band RF transceiver, dual-band high-power amplifiers, baluns, diplexers, diversity switch and Quad-SPI flash.
The modules are offered with two software architectures – hosted and embedded. The hosted variant (n-Link®) realizes a host-based architecture where the necessary MAC and PHY layers are implemented in the device to support high-performance, long range WLAN, Bluetooth and ZigBee applications in a 32-bit host processor over SDIO or USB interfaces. The embedded variants (WiSeConnect® and Connect-io-n®) realize WLAN, Bluetooth and ZigBee protocols along with Wi-Fi Direct™(1), WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP) (1) and a feature-rich networking stack thus providing a fully-integrated solution for embedded low-end wireless applications. These modules can be connected to 8/16/32-bit host processors through SPI, UART, USB and USB-CDC interfaces.
The modules are available in two hardware footprints. One footprint type comes with an integrated antenna and a U.FL connector and the other footprint comes without an integrated antenna.
