Development tools from AeroComm enable OEMs to rapidly introduce wireless connectivity into their product or process.
Low-cost spectrum analyser for 2.4GHz networks
AeroComm's ASA spectrum analyser is a compact, cost-effective, PC-based instrument covering the entire 2.4GHz ISM band.
Operating in the 2.4GHz band, the AC5124C replaces costly, bulky wiring in applications such as signs and POS (point-of-sale) including scoreboards, parking and traffic signs, remote displays, wireless printing and kiosks.
Equally the modules can be deployed in automotive and fleet management applications, and in gaming devices to provide reliable data transfer across short distances.
The module is completely assembled and importantly, agency approved, making it ready for integration into large volume OEM applications.
Datarates up to 115.2Kbit/s provide ample speed for most commercial applications, and at a diminutive 6.7 x 4.2 x 0.5cm, it is perfect for integration into portable devices and stationary applications.
OEMs can choose from a short-range power-efficient 10mW version for battery-powered products, or a higher-powered 200mW version for miles of line-of-sight range.
A version with an integral strip dipole antenna is available and all AC5124C variants share the same size footprint, connectors and software interfaces for interchangeability.
The modules can operate in temperatures from 0 to +60C, and in noncondensing humidity situations from 10 to 90%.
By using the 2.4GHz frequency band, AC5124C modules are accepted virtually worldwide; the family is approved under FCC, IC (Canada) and ETSI (Europe) agencies.
For ease of integration, all modules are backed by RF development tools and full engineering support from AeroComm.
