LPRS brings spread spectrum to the masses
Available now from Low Power Radio Solutions, the LX2400 is the first in a new family of ultra-low-cost spread-spectrum radio modules from AeroComm.
DECT modules provide ready-to-run radio
Low Power Radio Solutions has expanded its product range with its first DECT-based system.
Operating in the harmonised pan-European SRD band at 433.92MHz, and fully compliant with both EN 300 220-1 and ETS 300 683, the BiM integrates a SAW-controlled FM transmitter with a double-conversion superhet receiver.
And, with the easy-Radio software automatically converting the transmitted data into its "radio-efficient" format, applications using the BiM2-4-ER can take advantage of an increased range in excess of 300m in open air, or 50m indoors, as well as reliable data telemetry at a sustained 64Kbit/s.
The easy-Radio process is entirely transparent.
The transmitter section of the BiM accepts almost any standard data format, converts it and transmits it.
The receiver section receives the easy-Radio data and converts it back automatically into its original format.
The BiM2-4-ER is ideal for handheld terminals, EPOS equipment, barcode scanners, belt clip printers, data loggers and any application where bidirectional communication is required.
Two versions are available, for operation from nominal 5 or 3.3V single supplies.
Power consumption is particularly low for the 3.3V version, which typically consumes just 8mA while transmitting and 14mA while receiving.
Low-power standby modes reduce consumption in power-sensitive battery-powered portable applications.
Operating temperature range is -10 to +55C, with reduced performance available over an extended -20 to +70C range.
The BiM2-4-ER is part of a family of easy-Radio devices from Low Power Radio Solutions.
Like other devices in the range, it provides OEMs with a radio solution which complies with all relevant international radio and EMC regulations, and which is simple to integrate into any end application.
The company can also add a number of customised software solutions for orders greater then 100-off.
