WT41 Bluetooth® Module
DESCRIPTION
WT41 is a long range class 1, Bluetooth® 2.1 +
EDR module. WT41 is a highly integrated and
sophisticated Bluetooth® module, containing all the
necessary elements from Bluetooth® radio to
antenna and a fully implemented protocol stack.
Therefore WT41 provides an ideal solution for
developers who want to integrate Bluetooth®
wireless technology into their design with limited
knowledge of Bluetooth® and RF technologies.
WT41 is optimized for long range applications and
since it contains a RF power amplifier, low noise
amplifier and a highly efficient chip antenna. With
115 dB radio budget WT41 can reach over 1 km
range in line off sight.
By default WT41 module is equipped with powerful
and easy-to-use iWRAP firmware. iWRAP enables
users to access Bluetooth® functionality with simple
ASCII commands delivered to the module over
serial interface - it's just like a Bluetooth® modem.
FEATURES:
Fully Qualified Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR end
product,
CE, FCC, IC and MIC Japan
