ARCA-V2 Series Wireless Connectivity Hubs
ARCA-V2 systems combine wireless communication (cellular WAN, WiFi/BLE LAN) with a power CPU system (TI BeagleBone compatible) and several wired interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, I2C. It is a multi-function system which can be used as:
- LAN to WAN Router gateway
- Data aggregator from a local network of devices
- Sensor to Cloud Gateway
- Remote access control system for industrial equipment

WiFi & BLE
ARCA-V2 has Realtek RTL8723BU chipset for WiFi+BLE.
RTL8723BU is an 802.11bgn 2.4G single-chip that integrates Wireless LAN (WLAN) and a network USB interface (USB 2.0) controller with integrated Bluetooth 2.1/3.0/4.0 controller.
In ARCA-V2 pre-compiled Yantrr Boot Image the WiFI interface wlan0 is configured in Master Mode i.e. AP/Hotspot mode. The default SSID of ARCA's WiFi hot-spot is its Board Serial Number and the password is yantrrI0T.
