Models: RCM5600W

Description

The MiniCore RCM5600W series is Rabbit’s most compact Wi-Fi embedded solution, ideal for cost-sensitive applications. With their long-term firmware support and low-risk design features, the RCM5600W and RCM5650W offer an easy path to add reliable wireless network connectivity to any system you design.

Both wireless MiniCores offers 802.11b/g connectivity supporting WPA2 Enterprise security, as well as encryption standards such as SSL and AES. Embedded web server capability allows for monitoring and control of devices from remote locations. Both the RCM5600W and RCM5650W can use the firmware update feature which allows for remote firmware updates from virtually anywhere in the world. The RCM5600W Wi-Fi modules are fully compatible with the RCM5700 Ethernet enabled MiniCores, providing greater network deployment and design flexibility.

A Development Kit offers the essential hardware tools and includes the Dynamic C® software development system. The Kit contains a prototyping and interface board with USB connections that will allow you to evaluate and debug the RCM5600W.
