RS9113-N00-DXF-EVB

RS9113 Dual Band Wi-Fi Development Kit

The RS9113 based FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated Wi-Fi modules based on Silicon Labs' RS9113 ultra-low-power Convergence SoC. These modules offer dual-band 1x1 802.11n wireless connectivity. They are high performance, long-range and ultra-low-power wireless 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 module's embedded firmware includes the WLAN protocol stack along with support for WPA/WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP) security algorithms. It is a fully-integrated solution for secure embedded low-end wireless applications. The wireless modules can be connected to 8/16/32-bit host processors through SPI, UART, USB and USB-CDC interfaces.
