Radiocrafts Intros 100 mW High Performance RF Module at 2.45 MHz
100 mW high performance RF module at 2.45 GHz
  Oslo,
Norway, 2010-1-13 -- Radiocrafts AS, a leading provider of compact RF modules, now expand their product
line with two new modules, the low cost
RC2500-RC232
and
RC2500HP-RC232. These are
multi-channel RF transceivers with embedded protocol. RC2500 is below USD 10 in volume. RC2500HP includes a range
extension LNA and 100mW PA. The new modules have numerous applications in M2M communication, sensor and control
networks.
The module is a complete RF system solution including 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 modules, measuring only 12.7 x 25.4 x 3.3 mm, makes up a complete RF modem in one single tiny
package, replacing tens of components compared to a discrete design. No external components are required, except
an antenna. The modules are delivered on tape and reel for efficient volume production. It’s small size and low
power consumption makes it ideal for integration into size constrained battery operated equipment.
The
RC2500-RC232
and
RC2500HP-RC232
(set to 10 mW) are pre-certified for operation under the European radio regulations for license-free use. When
used with quarter-wave antennas a line-of-sight range of 1000 and 3500 meters, respectively, can be achieved at
low data rates. Both modules are also designed for operation under the FCC regulations. The new modules are pin
compatible with the RC11x0 series giving the customer a complete range of replaceable modules at 433, 868, 915 and
2450 MHz.
Equipment manufacturers can now get a complete low cost wireless solution in a small compact formfactor that
is easy to integrate, with only two pins for data I/O, one pin for supply voltage and one pin for the antenna. OEM
manufacturers without RF design knowledge can now easily add a robust wireless solution to their space limited
products, and significantly reduce time-to-market, development and compliance testing cost.
Modules and
Demo Kits are available now.
