Overview
About the Lantronix xPico 200 Series
The xPico 200 Series (also written xPico200) lets OEMs add managed wireless connectivity to industrial and commercial products without writing Wi-Fi or Bluetooth drivers. The modules can act as a network co-processor that offloads all IoT communications from the product's microcontroller, or as a wireless microcontroller running your application through the provided SDK. A global weighing-scale manufacturer, for example, used the xPico 240 to send scale data wirelessly to point-of-sale terminals in grocery stores.
The radio is dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz 802.11a/b/g up to 54 Mbps and 802.11n 1x1 up to 150 Mbps, with 20 and 40 MHz channels, antenna diversity and 802.11r fast roaming. A 10/100 Ethernet MAC connects over RMII. The xPico 250 adds Bluetooth 4.2 dual mode (BR/EDR and BLE) with central and peripheral roles. Concurrent Soft AP and client mode supports up to 5 Soft AP clients, or 4 in concurrent mode. Host interfaces include a TTL UART at 9600 bps to 4 Mbps, USB host and 12 GPIOs.
InfiniShield security provides secure boot, secure FOTA updates, secure key storage, encrypted configuration, role-based access control and WPA2 Enterprise, and the modules are Wi-Fi Alliance certified. Percepxion integration adds cloud-based remote device management. The modules run from 3.3VDC, operate from -40 to +85 C and carry FCC, IC, EU RED, Japan MIC, China SRRC and AU/NZS approvals.
Key capabilities
- Dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet
- 802.11a/b/g/n on 2.4 and 5 GHz with antenna diversity plus a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, managed by automatic network connection management.
- Bluetooth on xPico 250
- The xPico 250 adds Bluetooth Core 4.2 dual mode, supporting classic BR/EDR and BLE with GAP, GATT and Device ID profiles.
- Soft AP plus client
- Concurrent Soft AP and client mode gives direct wireless service access to a machine without disrupting its field operations, with up to 5 Soft AP clients.
- Global radio approvals
- Type approvals for the USA, Canada, EU, Japan, China and AU/NZS, plus Wi-Fi Alliance certification for Personal and Enterprise security.
- Industrial ratings
- Operates from -40 to +85 C, stores to +100 C, and is rated for 40G operational vibration and 65G non-operational shock.
- Low standby current
- The xPico 240 draws 30 uA in standby from its 3.3VDC supply, with boot peaks of 580 mA (xPico 240) and 600 mA (xPico 250).
How to choose the right xPico 200 Series part number
Choose the module by radio set and mounting. The xPico 240 provides dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet; the xPico 250 adds dual-mode Bluetooth 4.2. Lantronix also lists xPico 270 product briefs and certifications within this series. Modules come as a 17 x 25 x 2 mm LGA on tape and reel or a 22 x 35.5 x 2.73 mm edge card on tray. Antenna accessories listed here include 500-180-R-ACC and 500-182-R-ACC u.FL to R-SMA cables, the ACC-930-033-R dual-band 2.15 dBi antenna and the XPW100A003-01-B strip antenna.

xPico 200 Series FAQ
What is the difference between the xPico 240 and xPico 250?
Both provide dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Ethernet, the same host interfaces and InfiniShield security. The xPico 250 adds Bluetooth 4.2 dual mode (BR/EDR and BLE). Boot peak current is 580 mA for the 240 and 600 mA for the 250.
What form factors are xPico 200 modules available in?
Two: a 17 x 25 x 2 mm LGA surface-mount module supplied on tape and reel (MSL 3), and a 22 x 35.5 x 2.73 mm edge-connector card supplied on tray. Lantronix lists u.FL antenna cables and a dual-band RP-SMA antenna as compatible accessories.
Does the xPico 200 Series support WPA2 Enterprise?
Yes. It supports WPA/WPA2 Personal with AES/CCMP and TKIP and WPA2 Enterprise with EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST, and is Wi-Fi Alliance certified for Personal and Enterprise security.
Can the xPico 200 run my application without a host MCU?
Yes. Besides network co-processor mode, the module can operate as a wireless microcontroller running your code with the Lantronix SDK, removing the need for a separate host processor in simpler designs.
What temperature range is the xPico 200 Series rated for?
The modules operate from -40 to +85 C and can be stored from -40 to +100 C, at 5% to 85% non-condensing storage humidity. They are rated for 40G operational vibration and 65G non-operational shock.
