Radiocrafts' Multi-channel RF Module Suitable for M2M Communications, Control Networks Applications

(Product News, 22 Sep 2008)

Radiocrafts AS has expanded its product line with a completely new module series, the RC11x0, which is a multi-channel RF transceiver with embedded protocol, breaking the $10 limit in volume. The series includes models for use in the license free ISM bands at 433MHz, 868MHz and 915MHz, and have numerous applications in M2M communications, sensor and control networks.

The module is a complete RF system solution with a high performance multi-channel FSK radio transceiver and a packet protocol handler with an easy-to-use UART interface. The embedded RC232 protocol provides a point-to-multipoint solution with individual addressing or broadcast, and CRC check for signal integrity. The module can also be used as a wireless RS232/RS485 cable replacement.

The compact RC11x0-RC232 module, measuring only 12.7x25.4x3.3mm, makes up a complete RF modem in one single tiny package, replacing tens of components compared to a discrete design, and making it ideal for integration into size constrained battery operated equipment. No external components are required, except an antenna. The modules are delivered on tape and reel for efficient volume production.
