Product Description

MRF24WG0MA breakout board (carrier board), with installed Microchip MRF24WG0MA certified IEEE 802.11 b/g WiFi module, designed for embedded applications. Our carrier board gives you access to all the pins on the MRF24WG0MA Wifi module, in a through hole format, that is designed for ease of use, in both the prototyping environment and production applications. The MRF24WG0MA is a low power, 2.4GHz, IEEE 802.11-compliant, surface mount modules with all associated RF components like crystal oscillator, bypass and bias passives with integrated MAC, baseband, RF and power amplifier, and built in hardware support for AES, and TKIP (WEP, WPA, WPA2 security). The modules also provide acceleration for hosts running WPA-EAP application security. The integrated module frees the embedded application designer, from the RF and antenna design tasks, and regulatory compliance testing, ultimately providing a quicker development cycle. The MRF24WG0MA module is approved for use with the integrated PCB meander antenna. Microchip’s MRF24WG0MA Wifi module makes an excellent alternative to the TI CC3000 module, as it comes with a free TCP/IP stack for use on Microchip devices.

This breakout board comes with an installed MRF24WG0MA module so you can be up and running straight away. With the MRF24WG0MA’s inbuilt antenna you don’t have to worry about selecting or designing a perfect antenna.
