Description
The RN41 module is a small form factor, low power,
class 1 Bluetooth radio that is ideal for designers who
want to add wireless capability to their products without
spending significant time and money developing
Bluetooth-specific hardware and software. The RN41
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 RN41
delivers up to a 3-Mbps data rate for distances up to
100 meters. The RN41 is also available without an
antenna (RN41N).
