171 is perfect for mobile wireless applications such as
asset monitoring, sensors and portable battery
operated devices. It incorporates a 2.4GHz radio, 32-

connections (PWR, TX, RX and GND) to create a
wireless data connection. Additionally, the analog
sensor inputs can be used to interface a variety of
sensors such as temperature, audio, motion and
acceleration. The ability to go into deep sleep mode
and automatically scan and associate to an AP when
awake makes the RN-171 suitable for roaming
applications. The RN-171 also includes a built in
HTML client to automatically post serial uart data or
sensor data to a web server.

... Designs that include the boost regulator will provide good supply to the flash even when the battery voltage drops close to 1.8V board containing RN-171 does not include the boost regulator, it SHOULD include a 2.7V undervoltage reset circuit to prevent the module from accessing flash when supply voltage falls below 2.7V. ...
