The RN1723 is a small form factor, ultra-low power embedded TCP/IP/UDP Wi-Fi module measuring only 27 x 18 x 3.1 mm.  The RN1723 is a full-featured 802.11 b/g surface mount module that is footprint compatible with the RN171 Wi-Fi module.  With an impressive 4µA Sleep mode, and a new power-saving DOZE mode, the RN1723 is extremely power efficient, making it ideal for a vast range of applications that require many years of battery life.  

Additionally, the RN1723 offers advanced SSL/TLS security that runs on an external PIC32 MCU enabling highly secure client/server communication.  The RN1723 is configured via simple ASCII commands for ease of development and quick time to market.
