Description

The RRQ61001 is a Wi-Fi 6 module based on the RA6W1 MCU with integrated Arm® Cortex®-M33 system processor, featuring a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi subsystem, on-chip memory, flexible peripheral interfaces, and power management features. This module provides a standalone, single-chip solution capable of supporting complex, low-power IoT applications that require Wi-Fi network connectivity. Extremely low-power operation is achieved by dynamically disabling unused elements of the MCU, allowing near-zero power consumption when the device is not actively transmitting or receiving data.

  1. RA6W1-RRQ61001

    How can I estimate the average current consumption of the RRQ61001 module waking at say a 1s interval from sleep to send a short packet of data to the AP, say about 300bytes? Basically I roughly need to know how quicky it can wake, transmit and then return to sleep.

  2. RA6W1-RRQ61001 Send file via HTTP

    ... possible to send a file over HTTP in a single request? I have several files ranging from many KB to a few MB, and I want to send them in separate 500-byte frames. I've read this post before. Has this been improved in the RA6W1-RRQ61001? Best regards.

  1. How quickly does RA6W1 wake up from Sleep Mode 3 to RX-ready state?

    ... AP and Server. Thus, the chip can process Rx during DPM sleep state. About 70 ms is required to be ready for WLAN initialization after wake-up. Each system application and user application will take slightly longer depending on implementation. Suitable Products RA6W1, RRQ61051, RRQ61001   日本語 中文
