Microchip Technology RN4870 & RN4871 BLE Modules

Microchip RN4870 and RN4871 BLUETOOTH® 4.2 Low Energy (BLE) Modules are next-generation devices with an easy-to-use ASCII-style command interface. The ASCII interface makes the devices easy to configure and eliminates any complicated code compiling. An onboard BLUETOOTH® stack with a scripting engine enables standalone operation and eliminates microcontroller use for simple applications. RN4870 and RN4871 modules deliver up to 2.5 times the data throughput improvement over previous generation products based on the BLUETOOTH® 4.0 standard. These Microchip BLUETOOTH® solutions also offer Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) based connection security coupled with advanced features. 

RN487x modules seamlessly transfer serial data over BLE devices and can support different beacon formats, such as iBeacon™ or Eddystone™, via a single command. Both devices with a shield option are fully certified to meet worldwide regulatory standards and are available with compact package options as small as 6mm x 8mm.
