The GC-ESP32-PORT is a family of embedded networking modules that allow the user to create a
customized modular solution for all of their networking requirements. The GC-ESP32-PORT
modules are all based on the powerful ESP32 processor. The ESP32 processor has all the
communication interfaces required to implement today’s wired and wireless standards; these in­clude: Wi-Fi, BLE, Ethernet, UART (RS232, RS485), I2C, I2S, and SPI. Each module has different
communication hardware and software options that are available for use.

Communication Interfaces

• Wi-Fi

• BLE

• RMii

• SPI, I2S, I2C

• I/O

• UART (RS232, RS422, RS485)

Wi-Fi, BLE

Having a combination of BLE, and Wi-Fi on board makes the modules suitable for a
variety of wireless networks, allowing for both Wi-Fi based internet connections and local BLE
connections to a smart phone or tablet.

Processor

The ESP32 has two CPU cores that can be individually controlled and a clock frequency that is
adjustable from 80 MHz to 240 MHz. The ESP32 also has a sleep mode processor that allows for
sleep current of less than 5 µA, making it suitable for battery powered applications.

Software / Firmware

The GC-ESP-PORT component utilizes the free RTOS operating system (now owned by Amazon/
AWS) with LwIP and a built-in TLS 1.2 with hardware acceleration. It also offers secure, encrypted

over-the-air (OTA) updates so that the module rmware can be updated remotely without manual or

physical intervention. The AWS cloud extensions provide an application interface (API) for develop­ers that want to implement cloud applications.

Grid Connect has made available for the GC-ESP32-PORT family different rmware and hardware

that allows the user to use for standard applications:

• Serial tunneling between the UART and Wi-Fi

• Serial tunneling between the UART and Ethernet

• Bridging between Wi-Fi and Ethernet

• Basic AWS cloud connection

• Custom rmware available

If you wish to develop your own software/rmware there is a standard SDK with many options for

your application. The development environment for ESP32 is available on-line and is open source
and free.

Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator and your body.

Déclarationd'exposition aux radiations:

Cetéquipementestconforme aux limitesd'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un
environnement non contrôlé. Cetéquipementdoitêtreinstallé et utilisé avec un minimum de
20cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps

OEM Integration Instructions：

This device is intended only for OEM integrator under the following conditions. The module
can be used as certified in a host product if:

1. The antenna is installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and any end
user.

2. The transmitter module and antenna are not co-located with any other transmit or antenna.

3. The module is only used with the antenna(s) originally tested and certified with this module.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required.

However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirement with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC
peripheral requirements, etc.).

The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:

Contains FCC ID: 2AFC3ESP32P001, IC: 22503-ESP32P001

The GC-ESP32-PORT-N may only be used with the following antennas:

Antenna Type Manufacturer Frequency Range

(MHz)
Whip V.TORCH VTWFA-3 2400-2480 3dBi
Trace Airgain N2420 2400-2480 3.8dBi
any 50 Ohm antenna of the same type and frequency range, with equal or lesser gain.

IMPORTANT NOTE：

In the event that the above conditions cannot be met (for example certain device configuration
or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC / ISED authorization for this module in
combination with the host equipment is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID / IC
number of the module cannot be used on the final product. In these and circumstance, the
OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating. The end product (including the
transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
