RF modules cover 2.4GHz ISM band
Nanotron Technologies has developed a new generation of RF modules for the 2.4GHz ISM band - the nanoPAN 5360 and nanoPAN 5361.
Nanotron Technologies has developed a new generation of RF modules for the 2.4GHz ISM band - the nanoPAN 5360 and nanoPAN 5361 These new modules are based on Nanotron's unique chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology and offer high datarates at long range and high robustness

Transceiver demonstrated in Berlin
At the ZigBee meeting in Berlin Nanotron Technologies demonstrated the first evaluation boards for its new wireless network Nanonet.
Because nanoPAN 5360 and nanoPAN 5361 contain the complete RF part of a wireless nanoNET node, they significantly reduce both development risk and time to market.
At the core of the two nanoPAN modules is the nanoNET TRX transceiver chip, which offers high datarates of up to 2Mbit/s and a long range at a maximum of 900m outdoors and typically 60m indoors.
Both modules are controlled by an external microcontroller via an SPI interface and offer an asymmetrical antenna port (50ohm).
The nanoPAN 5360 contains an additional ISM bandpass filter for even more robustness.
Both modules come in a metal housing, the pads are ready for either soldering or reflow.
Panasonic in Germany has manufactured both modules.
"With these new modules our customers can develop their applications very fast and almost without any RF design, leading to lower development risk and reduced time to market", says Nanotron's CEO Dr Jens Albers.
"In the coming months, Nanotron will introduce a whole portfolio of such modules because the market demand is extensive and growing".
