1.0 DESCRIPTION

The RN41XV and RN42XV are small form factor, low-

power Bluetooth radio modules offering plug-in com-

patibility for the widely used 2 x 10 (2-mm) socket typi-

cally used by 802.15.4 radio modules.

Based on the popular 2 x 10 (2-mm) socket footprint

often found in embedded applications, the Roving Net-

works’ RN41XV and RN42XV modules provide Blue-

tooth connectivity in legacy and existing designs that

may have been based upon the 802.15.4 standard.

The RN41XV Class 1 Bluetooth module is based on the

RN41, and the RN42XV Class 2 Bluetooth module is

based on the RN42. These modules are simple to

design in and are fully certified, making them a com-

plete embedded Bluetooth solution. The RN42 is func-

tionally compatible with the RN41.

The Class 1 RN41 module has a range up to

100 meters. The Class 2 RN42 module has a range up

to 20 meters.
