The new series covers all ISM bands below 1 GHz, including 169, 433, and 868 MHz, as well as some national bands used for specific radio communication applications (444, 458, 465 MHz, etc.). The embedded RC232 radio protocol provides point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communication over an encrypted data connection and is very easy to use.
The narrowband modules operate in bandwidths below 12.5 kHz, and their temperature-stabilized crystal oscillators ensure reliable operation across the entire industrial temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. The RF output power is configurable up to 500 mW.
This combination of high narrowband RF sensitivity and high RF output power enables very long-range communications. The selectivity and blocking properties of these radios make them ideal for use in critical applications and environments with noise from industrial equipment.
The new series is designed for applications such as crane control, industrial sensors, and other high-reliability RF links. Its excellent selectivity and locking properties enable reliable operation in environments with strong RF interference.
The modules have very compact dimensions of 12.8 x 25.4 mm, are surface-mounted, and are supplied on reels for automated assembly. Samples are available.
