WSN802G Introduction
The WSN802G transceiver module is a low cost, robust solution for 802.11b/g/n sensor networks. The WSN802G is unique in that it is able to sleep while still remaining a member of an 802.11b/g/n network. The WSN802G’s low active current and very low sleep current makes long life battery operation practical. The WSN802G module includes analog, digital and serial I/O, providing the flexibility and versatility needed to serve a wide range of sensor network applications. The WSN802G module is easy to integrate and is compatible with standard 802.11b/g/n routers.
