1 Functional description

1.1 Overview

The ODIN-W2 is a compact and powerful stand-alone multiradio module, designed for Internet-of-Things gateway applications. The module includes an embedded Bluetooth stack, Wi-Fi driver, IP stack, and an application for wireless data transfer, all configurable using AT commands. The wireless support includes dual-mode Bluetooth v4.2 (BR/EDR and low energy) and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz bands).

The module supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations and can have concurrent Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. It can operate in Wireless Multidrop™ or Extended Data Mode for advanced multipoint capabilities. Operation in Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) mode gives the host a UART-based IP interface for advanced use cases. The software provides support for RMII with a micro Access Point.

The module is professional grade with an extended temperature range and is radio type approved for multiple countries, which reduces the integration work and cost.
