WiFly™ : 802.11b WLAN Serial embedded Module RN-111b

The WiFly RN-111b   module is a complete ultra low power embedded TCP/IP solution.  The device enables wireless connections to any legacy serial port and supports bi-directional RS-232 signaling at a rate of up to 232.4Kbps. Just attach WiFly to your device's RS232/EIA232 port, plug it in, and you're connected. The transmit range can be up to 330' (100m), depending upon environmental considerations.

Features & Benefits

  •  Fully pre-certified module with FCC ID and CE marks.
  • TCP sockets with  incoming and outbound connect modes.
  • UDP connectionless and broadcast  modes.
  •  Virtual COM support via Tactical Client.
  •  Low power consumption (40ma connected,  120ma TX, 12 micro amp sleep modes).
  •  Programmable timers and wake/trigger modes.
  •  Multiple ANT options, SMA, U.FL, CHIP and Wire.
  • Three on board LEDs and  PIO signals for connect status.
  • Up to 8 sensor inputs for sleep wake and data ACQ.
  • Both (RTS/CTS)  and software (XON/XOFF) flow modes.
  • Supports RFC2217 remote signaling (DTR, DSR, CD).
  • Simple local configuration via AT commands.
  • TFTP over the air firmware upgrades.

WiFly can be powered from multiple supply options:  4VDC – 12VDC unregulated,   3.3V regulated, or  low power (2-3V ) battery source.

WiFly uses industry standard 802.11b specifications and protocols.


There are many ways to utilize WiFly's capabilities:

·        Virtual COM:   any legacy application can simply open a COM port to connect to the WiFly.

·        Server mode:  Client application opens a socket to the WiFly.

·        Client:  WiFly opens socket to remote port on server.

·        Instant Cable.  Use a pair of WiFly's for true cable replacement.
