Radiocrafts AS Releases Compact High Power RF Module Designed for ZigBee

(Product News, 25 Jan 2008)


Radiocrafts AS has expanded its product line with a high power RF module design for ZigBee operating at 2.45GHz. The RC2201HP delivers up to 18dBm output power, and gives an increased communication range of up to 10 times compared to standard low output power modules. The device is compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 and is designed for ZigBee Full Function Device (FFD) and Reduced Function Device (RFD) operation, or other protocol stacks using star or mesh topologies.

Measuring 16.5x35.6x3.5mm, the shielded module is optionally available with integrated antenna, 128kB flash memory, 8kB RAM, 32 digital and analogue I/Os, eight-channel 10 bit ADC, UART and SPI interfaces. The module integrates a multi-channel RF transceiver with 16 channels, up to 18dBm output power and a receiver sensitivity of -94dBm at 250kbps. The output power can be adjusted to comply with EU regulations for CE marking, as well as FCC and ARIB approvals.

The module is based on DSSS technology and offer exceptional range and performance even in crowded and noisy environments compared to other 2.45GHz technologies. Low power modes for increased battery life are available. Line-of-sight ranges of 1.5km can be achieved with external antenna, and 800m with integrated antenna. Typical applications include home, building and industrial automation, wireless security and alarm systems, automatic meter reading, remote control and telemetry, fleet and asset management. Operation at the 2.45GHz licence free band enables world-wide usage. The modules are suitable for pick and place automatic assembly for volume production and are available in tape&reel.
