1 Overview
•
The RS9113 module family is based on Silicon Labs' RS9113
ultra-low-power ConvergenceSoC. These modules offer dual-band
1x1 802.11n, dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 in a single device.They are
high performance, long range and ultra-low power modules and
include a proprietary multi- threaded MAC processor called
ThreadArch®, digital and analog peripheral interfaces, baseband
digital signal processor, calibration OTP memory, dual-band RF
transceiver, dual-band high-power amplifiers, baluns, diplexers,
diversity switch and Quad-SPI flash.

1.2.2 Bluetooth:
•
•
•
Compliant to dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0
Transmit power up to 15 dBm (class-1) with integrated PA.
Receive sensitivity of -94 dBm.
The modules are offered with two software architectures – hosted
and embedded. The hosted variant (n-Link®) realizes a host-based
architecture where the necessary MAC and PHY layers are
implemented in the device to support high- performance, long range
WLAN and Bluetooth applications in a 32-bit host processor over
SDIO or USBinterfaces. The embedded variants (WiSeConnect®
and Connect-io-n®) realize WLAN, and Bluetooth protocols along
with Wi-Fi Direct™, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (EAP-
TLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-TTLS,
1.2.3 n-Link®:
•
Seamless integration with 32-bit processors over SDIO and
USB.
•
Host Drivers for Linux
EAP-PEAP, EAP-LEAP) and a feature-rich networkingstack thus
providing a fully-integrated solution for embedded low-end wireless
applications. These modules can be connected to 8/16/32-bit host
processors through SPI,UART, USB and USB-CDC interfaces.
The modules are available in two hardware footprints.One footprint
type comes with an integrated antenna and a uFL connector and
the other footprint comes without an integrated antenna.
1.2.4 WiSeConnect® and Connect-io-n®:
•
•
WLAN and Bluetooth stacks embedded in the device.
Supports Wi-Fi Direct™, Access point mode, WPA/WPA2-
PSK, WPA/WPA2- Enterprise (EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-
TTLS, EAP-PEAP, EAP-LEAP)
